Haven't been near an elementary school in the AM recently have you..
Not to mention it was *lighter* at 6:30 or 7:00 last week, when the school buses are clogging up traffic, *before* the time change. Now that period is dark. Tell me how this is supposed to work again? I'm confused. . . .
Your confusing the junior high/high school kids with the elementary kids. The elementary school children go to school at appr. 815 to 830am and need the day light to be able to safely get to the bus stop. I don't have a preference one way or the other, but expecting young children to walk to school or a bus stop in the dark with all these oblivious adult drivers is plain nuts!

Get rid of Daylight Savings Time changes! Some states do, like Arizona, etc., which can make it even more confusing in the U.S..... Dumbest idea since Prohibition.

Alright, now that the change is done, I wish they would leave it alone for now on. Would hate to loose more sleep over it.

if anyone had any brains, they would look at the sunrise sunset times.
if dst did not exist, you same people would be complaing how its daylight out at 4am.
dst does not save light or make your day longer or shorter , it balances the time between sunrise and set around the 24 hr clock especially in the northern lattitudes
I for one, wouldn't complain at all about it being light earlier and two, you're right, it benefits the yankees in the NE, not those of us here who live in the Sun and regularly bake in fajita flats.

Where in America is it still dark at 8:15 AM? I'm writing this at about 7:50 AM, and while it's rainy and gloomy today, it is certainly light enough for any drivers to see pedestrians and vice versa.
It might be still dark at 8:30am in March in northern Sweden or Canada, but not in the U.S.
