When I was a teenager and cycled to school, when we had "British Silly Time" all winter, I cycled both ways in the dark, and never saw home in daylight. Otherwise, with GMT in winter, I only had to cycle *home* in the dark. Safer and less depressing. (Groggy in the morning, have woken up before the afternoon. That seems to apply to the majority.)
Of course, that could be solved by starting school at 10:00 instead, but then, the early morning types could get up when they wan regardless of what the clock shows anyway.
A move from GMT to any other time shift means that at mid day, the clock does not show 12:00. Maybe reasonable to make extra use of daylingt in Summer, but pointless all year round. Stick with GMT and open workplaces earlier according to the clock, if that is preferred.
