the solution has always been adjusting the school/business hours as seen fit, not adjusting the clocks.

DST is one of those things our descendants will be baffled by the sheer stupidity of.

Couldn’t you say the same thing about time zones? Why adjust the clock when you can adjust all aspects of society instead?

that's a reductio ad absurdum, the opposite of which would be adjusting our clocks by some seconds every day so the sun would always rise at 6:00:00 AM. both extremes are equally neat in some way and painfully inconvenient in many others.
