This has got to be bullshit. Or Americans are morons. There are so many places in the world where kids go to school in the dark anyways that I can't even wrap my head around how this causes kids to be hit by cars.
Oh well, kids don't walk to school in america anymore anyways so whatever.
For starters, those places have sidewalks, and street lamps, and generally care about pedestrians.
Some kids are straight walking on the side of a 4 lane highway to school right now.
But to be clear: the solution is not changing the time but adding pedestrian infrastructure. It would solve many more problems than kids getting hit.
/agree
Even with ST, my youngest goes to school in the dark all winter. Just now, as it's light when he goes out, they're about to swap it to DST and he'll be in the dark again for a couple of weeks.
"Losing" that short window of morning sunlight is nothing to me. Gaining the ability to have normal sleep patterns and not changing the clocks is infinitely better.
I do not care what the time is, as long as it stays consistent. My sleep is fucked up for 2x2 weeks every fucking year for no good reason.
