I grew up with my shortest "daylight day" starting at about 08:40 and finishing at about 14:50. This basically meant that both morning and evening commute happened in basically darkness. No matter of time-shifting would've accomplished "get both ends of the school/work-day in daylight", although making them shorter would've worked.
