Daylight savings time neatly solves a nexus of several different problems - permanent daylight savings is, IMO, the superior choice. The problems: 1. A lot of working parents are locked into a fixed start and end time and have little flexibility 2. These parents also rely on school for a significant amount of childcare, and need to be present in the house until their children get onto the bus at the least. 3. So, the school bus needs to show up before the parents leave to get to their 9am job 4. The school bus also needs to be driving during daylight hours for child safety. 5. If children are walking directly to school, this also needs to happen during daylight hours. This is both for traffic safety and for not having children get lost in the dark. Permanent standard time would necessitate schools pushing their start time back roughly an hour, leading to millions of workers desperately attempting to re-negotiate their working hours with their employers.
