Daylight Saving Time (DST) was implemented in the United States in 1918 to save energy during World War I. The law established five time zones for the country. When DST begins on March 9, people lose one hour of the day due to the clocks “springing forward” one hour, and when it ends on November 2, people gain one hour of sleep because clocks “fall back” one hour. Now, disputes have arisen over whether the United States should continue to observe the time change or not. The Ghostwriter asked students and teachers what they thought about DST.
