I don't think shifting school schedules is as easy as you'd think. The start times in my town (and I assume most) are structured to enable working parents to get to work around 9 (depending on their commute) after getting their kids off to school.

Pushing school times back an hour would be a big disruption for a large percentage of the population.

Then start work earlier. Again, not rocket science.

Starting everything "earlier" but not changing the time makes no difference. If I go to work when it's dark, I don't care if we call it 7 a.m. or 8 a.m.

That is exactly what DST does. Once a year everybody shifts their schedule one hour earlier and start working and go to school one hour earlier.

It's not rocket science, but that doesn't mean it's easy.
