    8am is the latest sunrise in a Detroit winter on EST, UTC-5. If you want it earlier, Detroit can’t be on EST, let alone EDT. They would need to be on CST, UTC-6, which the never are. Solar noon would be around 11:15 AM. Sunset would be before 4PM.

    Are you just being contrary for the sake of being contrary?

      Then perhaps school should adjust but if new York stayed on -5 in winter Schools would start in the dark, which actually happens in a lot of places. Its bad for kids and we should use schools schedules bc they are publicly aun and the people who we must take care of to set the time. Everything else is obviously flexible.
