  But 6am is a made up construct. It's an artifact of the logistics of getting kids to school before the parents' working hours and accommodating those kids' after-school jobs. If you move school an hour later then typical working hours also have to move an hour later and nothing actually changes. Our children will say it is unnatural for teenagers to wake up at 7am.

  Thats is the reason, permanent DST won't "work". Childrens wake time is highly dependant on the sun. So, if it already makes sense to start school later, then it only gets more so, if there is permanent DST. Which means, most work times have to start later as well.

  This would be better for kids, actually. An hour less of school even would be better. Kids are given too much garbage in school rather than concentrating on core education.
