The benefits really depend on where you live so it's not a so a one size doesn't fit all. Where I live even with standard time kids still end up walking to school in the dark. If it such a big issue with schools they can always change the start time like they do on days with extreme cold or snow days.
Currently with standard time in the winter I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. With year round daylight time I would get at least 30 min of sun after I get off work.
During the summer I prefer to have the extra sunlight when I am not at work rather then I am sitting at a desk at work which daylight time provides. I am able to spend more time outside get exercise and work in the yard longer. I feel the health benefits that "experts" claim of standard time is very subjective and does not apply to as many people as they think.
