I've seen people suggesting this and it doesn't make sense. So we're going to switch to DST permanently which means we all permanently get up an hour earlier and change schools so they all start (presumably) an hour later? You're effectively doing the same thing as if we just stayed on standard time only with the added inconvenience for parents who now have to figure out what to do with their kids if they have jobs that start early.

I'm saying it's never about the kids. Most schools start too early, and nobody really cares. You're talking about inconvenience for parents, and yes, that's what's driving these decisions.
