Don't DST in practice make school start an hour later parts of the year? Where I live it don't get dark for 2-3 months during the summer and it was never easy to get up in the mornings. The same at the middle of winter there is no sunrise so not possible for schools to start after dawn. I think I did read some place that it was more connected to that our sleep pattern isn't accurate with 24h, so if we get up later we would go to be later and be back to square one.

It's about half and half, when you consider the school year starts in daylight saving time, switches to standard, and then switches back. I don't see how changing the time kids go to school twice in the year is beneficial. And I certainly don't see how sleep-deprived bus drivers in the spring are an acceptable risk.
