My argument as well, keep local time in sync with solar events, mean solar time for practicality. School should start relative to sunrise. Work depending on preference, relative to sunrise/noon/sunset/timezone or utc. All other events that need cross metro region syncs, trains, planes and tv schedules should stick with time zones. I kept a sunrise calendar sheet in the kitchen to be able to bike at sunlight home and to work, it's really all up to flexibility of your workplace and not about DST and "more" daylight. In the Northern hemisphere this is mostly relevant for the months around winter solstice, since otherwise there is enough daylight. I just see no reason to send kids to school in the dark. http://www.aasmnet.org/articles.aspx?id=5176 http://www.aasmnet.org/articles.aspx?id=5176
