I would like to take it one step further. Eliminate time zones and day light savings. Every where in the US of A should use Greenwich mean time. We can still have time zones for those who think that time should be set to the sun. time zone -5 , -6, etc. Trains, planes, and space men, all use Zulu time, why not the rest of us. There is no reason a school or other entities that insists the need to be open during day light hours can't modify their schedule with out a need to affect the rest of us. Is there a reason a farmer can't modify his schedule by fifteen minutes every so often to take advantage of the sun, as he sees the need? Why do the rest of us have to change our schedule? Hey, while we are at it, has any one ever thought about changing to the Metric system too?
