Noon is definitionally mid-day, when the sun is at its highest point, which traditionally is 12:00. If we want to tweak the start & end times of school/work/whatever, then let’s simply do that. Why futz with the clock?
Well, for work times, I guess the answer is we live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and our government isn’t going to tell them what to do. For schools it’s moving the times without changing work times also would be a logistical disaster.
If the government had full control of the economy it could do all of this at once, but of course, then it could also just implement good public transit and reduce car usage.
