I remember they tried it in the 70's and all the parents were pissed because their kids were waiting at the school bus stops in the dark.

But do you remember the rest of the advertisements? The parents weren't complaining about the dark, they were loudly complaining about the children standing in the dark in the RAIN. Pictures of miserable kids in total rain gear waiting for the bus.

Until someone pointed out that DSt didn't affect rainfall. Whups.

Now that a larger % of parents drop their kids off in the morning and park for hours in the afternoon to pick them up, how much does the argument falter?
