[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But who needs light at 7? My kids school starts at 7:30 and we walk. We start walking at 7:20… it’s totally fine. What’s not fine is darkness at 5pm when kids would like to play outside. Instead they just play inside [/quote]

+1 it's so sad for kids being able to play after school. It gets dark so it's colder and less safe with drivers.

From a public health / childhood obesity / keeping kids of screens perspective, it's a no brainer.

Oh put away the violin. It’s DST the vast majority of the year and standard time for a tiny little portion. If it helped at all with childhood obesity, American children should be doing just fine.[/quote]

Well it's irrelevant in the summer months. The point is about fall specifically.[/quote]it’s spring and summer and some of fall. Not just “the summer months” DST starts in March. So you’re argument kids are really good at keeping in shape and staying off screens from March to November but all that obesity happens because of those dastardly few months of standard time. Get over it. One extra hour of sunlight isn’t keeping kids off their iPads especially when they are all usually at some scheduled afterschool activity during those months anyway[/quote]
