Okay, you do understand what I’m trying to say, so what am I supposed to respond? Tell me what your calculations for the school day year-round would best be in Washington State, and Maine.
- bryanlarsen 7mo agoThe existing standard times already work? For Seattle on PST that puts sunrise at 7:54AM and sunset at 4:20PM in Seattle during winter solstice. Which gives almost an hour of sunlight on either side for a standard school day of 9-3:30. For Bangor on it's 7:06AM and 4:03PM. It'd work better for an 8:30-3:00 school schedule. But for a 9-3:30 they'd unsurprisingly be better off on Atlantic Standard Time.
- hyperhello 7mo agoNow convince the parents that the kids should go to school at 9 and convince the companies that parents should start work at 10. I’m not really the one you need to bat around.
- bryanlarsen 7mo agoSchool start time is already 8:50AM in Seattle, no convincing needed. They start earlier in Bangor, but the sun rises earlier in Bangor, so again everything already lines up quite well.
- dron57 7mo agoMy kid’s elementary school in Seattle starts at 7:50 AM
- bryanlarsen 7mo agoYeah, you can't have kids walking in daylight during the winter solstice unless all schools start at the same time. You can pick a time zone to match the school start time, or you can pick a school start time to match the time zone. But any school more that 30 minutes different has kids walking in the dark during the winter solstice.
