Daddio: 11/1/11 Blog of the Day

Daylights Savings Time: a brilliant way to conserve electricity or the stupidest idea ever invented?  Next Sunday at 1 in the morning (or somewhere around there), we'll be setting our clocks backwards an hour, getting an extra hour of sleep.  But why do we do this?  What's the point?  Why not just let the time stay what it is now?

For today's blog of the day, I want you to use Factmonster, Wikipedia or Google searches to research Daylight Savings Time.  Then write a report about it.  Your report needs to be four paragraphs.  I want you to explain what Daylight Savings Time actually is, how it started and then your thoughts about whether it is a good idea or not.
