In certain latitutes, if DST were in effect year round, kids would be
walking to school in the morning in the dark in the winter.

Around here, it IS dark when school starts part of the winter.
And nobody has the skills required to adjust a the school schedule.

So then it's dark when they go home, particularly if they have any
after-school activities of any kind.

I truly couldn't care less. They can figure out what is important to
them without making everybody else commit timefoolery.

Kids involved in after-school activities have no influence on the DST
nonsense, any more than the multitudinous others whom it inconveniences
one way or another.

Nobody ever said they were. Schools set schedules and they are quite
empowered to do without forcing every body else to change their
schedules.

The idea that we need every single person to change their schedule in
order to meet the needs of children is poppycock.

Why should schools have to change their schedules to suit the whims of
bureaucrats?

You're flogging the wrong horse. It's just another example of the
stupidity of the whole DST nonsense.
