The amazing thing about daylight savings is that we would rather *mess with the definition of time itself* than give people the freedom and flexibility to start their day an hour earlier or later as they see fit. Problems can only be solved through coercive conformity.

No doubt! Same goes for school schedules. Don't like bus routes on dark mornings? Start school later. It'll be the same as it was before except for the number on the wall, and it doesn't force people into unnecessary disruption.
