You know what's worse than choosing between Daylight time and Standard time...not choosing and having the biannual switching of the clock.
Just pick one and stick with it!!!
I equate this with the MLB finally resolving the dual nature of the designated hitter rule (NL not having and AL having it) and finally having a consistent standard across both leagues. I do disagree with what was chosen, I think consistency is MUCH MORE important

I prefer standard time, but I’d prefer more for them to pick one and stick with it. Schools can easily change what time they start, that’s always seemed like a stupid objection to me.

So, instead of everyone in unison adjusting their clocks twice a year, you suggest that individual schools should all decide for themselves when/how to change their school's start times, which now causes schedule changes which clash with the unchanging schedules of other places/businesses that don't do any clock changing?

No, we should make standard time permanent.
Daylight savings time is bad for our bodies particularly in the winter.
It also makes noon even more out of sync with solar noon.

> Daylight savings time is bad for our bodies particularly in the winter.
Here's a study that demonstrates this by comparing the sleep quality and health outcomes of people who live on the eastern edge vs. the western edge of a time zone: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01676... . People on the western edge (sunrise goes later) get on average 19 fewer minutes of sleep per night, are more likely to be sleep deprived, and are more likely to face negative health outcomes associated with circadian rhythm disruption.
Still, if the US ever abandons the switch, the government will always pick permanent DST over permanent standard time. The economy goes before every other concern, and permanent DST helps to promote evening shopping.

People take airplanes all the time and cross timezones. Is the 1 hour switch worse for our sleep?

You know different states could choose different answers to which time zone to make permanent and most of the drama of the question would go away.
