So in the summer you want school to start 4 hours after sun up, but in winter you want it to start 1 hour before?

  Schools can change their schedules if the shorter daylight hours are a problem.

    And businesses can to match them. And bus companies. And everyone else Or we could simply change the common time everyone uses and not have to reprint everything.

  Go far enough from equator and that will happen anyway, or for some of us sunset at parts of the summer and sunrise parts of the winter are both NaN. But the change between standard and DST makes a big difference for some weeks during spring and fall

  Under the existing DST system (1 hour difference from Standard Time) they currently go to school (wait, children in school in the summer?) 3 hours after sun up but that's not seen as a problem?

  If you want to align things to solar time you probably also want seasonal opening hours - less in the winter, more in the summer, or such. Changing the clocks by an hour doesn't get you there though, only partly mitigates it.
