Dear Timekeepers,

It was a lot darker when you woke up this morning and came to school. Last week, I had to wear sunglasses during my commute to work, but today they stayed in my pocket. And tonight when you go to bed, the sun might still be peeking over the western horizon.

We base our lives around natural patterns, like the sun rising and setting. We’ve created cultures and technologies (such as time) based on these patterns, so it’s no surprise when we tweak them to try to make them better. Whether you like daylight savings or not is a personal opinion. Maybe the extra hour of sunlight this evening will convince you that it’s a good thing, or maybe you hated this morning so much that you’ll never think it’s worth it.

Sincerely,

Mr. H
