jsharr ★ Posted March 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2019 Seems a bit archaic and outdated, so I can see why you would be such a staunch supporter.

If TUT never included DST then universally EST would forever be EDT or the equivalent of TUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted March 7, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 7, 2019 We lose almost 10 hours of daylight. I really don't want kids going to school when it's pitch black.

As someone who is not a natural early-morning riser - even though I did it for 3 decades as a school teacher - I LOVE Daylight Savings time. It gives me more flexibility in scheduling outdoor activities. I would wish it for all-year except that it would mean, in my area, kids walking to school in the dark throughout the Winter. As a Spring Sports coach, I also loved when DST kicked-in: from 1986 - 2007 which roughly coincides with my high school coaching career, it used to start the 1st Sunday in April. Before DST I sometimes had to cut softball or track practices short on cloudy days when it became darker early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
