    This is literally George W. Bush’s fault, he’s the one who pushed the DST changes several weeks earlier in the spring and later in the fall in 2005. This and Hurricane Katrina happened at the same time.

          no, next day should be no school because the children are horribly behaved the day after halloween regardless of time change

          edit: i should mention it’s a good question. just the damn school districts have to give us and thus the kids the day off and make someone stay home from work in these dual income homes. Nov 1 should be a paid federal/bank holiday.
