We set them forward in the summer to maximize daylight in the evening. But during the winter it stays dark too late in the morning so we set them back to standard time.

I don't understand the comment on being international. It seems to me that most countries have some form of daylight savings time. Not all, but enough where it wouldn't seem like a foreign concept.

Easy, cowboy. Apparently they are from Japan, India, or China where they don’t change time. It’s not their fault this is new to them. No need to be unkind.

When I went to college in the 90's), I met a fellow from a country that didn't have daylight saving time (Barbados, iirc). He legit did not understand the idea and thought we were pranking him.

Until he was late to his student visa renewal appointment by an hour and was then deported. Not so funny then, was it! 😜
