North of about 45 degrees latitude, the winter time change centers daylight perfectly so that for part of the year students leave home in the dark, go home in the dark, and sit in class through all of the daylight. When the days finally start getting long enough to see a little sunlight at each end, it's time to move the clocks forward and they're back to going to school in the dark. It's brutal.
Way back when I was in school there were a couple that had 10 hour days, to better accomodate parent's schedules. Drop junior off when it fits your morning schedule best, same for pickup in the afternoon. Teachers worked on the early end, late end, took a long lunch, worked four 10 hour days, whatever suited the needs of their students and their own lives. The pickup and dropoff zones didn't get gridlocked with every single parent showing up at the same exact time. My point is, there are far better options available than fooling around with time itself.
