Good article however there were more reasons for changing the clocks forward and backward, including planting and harvest times for farmers. They needed the entire family to help plant the crops so they wanted the extra daylight hours in the morning, before school. Then for harvest time, they wanted more hours for the afternoon, after school, so the kids had plenty of time to help bring in the field's harvest.
Also, this quote from the article is incorrect:
I live as far west in Florida as most and during daylight savings, it is light by 7:00 am. I know because many mornings I schedule a 7:20 Tee-Time and am out on the driving range before 7:00.
As far as the reason kids are going to school in total darkness here is that some of the school districts have elected to begin classes at 6:15 am, with the kids being released by noon-thirty.
Also, this quote from the article is incorrect:

Lawmakers in Florida, of all places, ought to know that year-round daylight saving is not such a bright idea – especially in December and January, when most residents of the Sunshine State won’t see sunrise until about 8 a.m.
