If you live somewhere it's dark in the morning, start school an hour later. Don't demand the entire populace fuck up their sleep schedule. If DST wasn't already implemented, it would sound like an insane overcomplication to solve relatively simple inconveniences in the modern age. No matter what the clock says, you only exist for a certain amount of time every day. If you want to get up earlier or later than usual, do it by yourself and leave me out of it.

    Yeah, you really expected me at age 7 to walk a quarter mile in the dark to get to my bus stop, when I didn't even know how to tell time until age 9?

    Or vice versa, adjust the school schedule by an hour, I still didn't yet know how to tell time yet.

    ...you couldn't tell time before 9?

    No, I was born half blind as a bat, and nobody would let me get close enough to see anything up close.

    My vision is about 20/500 without glasses, meaning that if I should be able to see it from 500 feet, I have to be 20 feet away to see it. Very very blurry without glasses.

    I finally got glasses at age 8, and finally saw a clock at age 9. I had to teach myself how to read it though, but that was kinda easy once I could actually see the damn thing! 🕘
