Or they'll change school time a couple hours ahead, and parents who have to actually work for a living will have to decide a) quit their jobs to stay home because their 10-year-old can't be home alone and dress themselves and feed themselves and prepare their own lunches and get out of the house and lock the door by themselves, or b) the entire country would have to start everything 2 hours later, which pretty much defeats the purpose.
