Hi Blog!
Today Mr. Schick told us that we would be having a debate about whether or not timezones should be abolished or not. Since we got into a discussion yesterday about how effective time zones actually are, he thought it would be fun to debate it. I chose the side that said time zones are pointless and should be abolished. I think that they don't really make sense and it can lead to a lot of confusion when traveling. For the debate I am focusing on Daylight savings time. Daylight savings is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer. If we switched to a 24 hour clock and no time zones this wouldn't be necessary. There wouldn't be am or pm so no need to extend the evening daylight. This is one extra thing that everyone has to do because of time zones.
