Daylight Saving Time

Before DST this year, it was no problem at all to get my first grader to do his nightly reading. As soon as DST started and he realized he had another hour of daylight to play in, he lost interest in book stuff. He'll get it back soon.

I've talked with a co-worker who has a nephew at the same school that my son attends. Her nephew also has a problem with doing book work when the sun is shining.

Another reason to oppose expanding DST.

FWIW, I remember back in 1974 when they experimented with DST year round as a way of saving energy. I had an 8 a.m. class during winter quarter. For a couple of weeks, I walked to class in the dark and it was still a little dark when I got out at 9 a.m. Five days a week. Ugh.
