Now read again. Slowly.
Perhaps you'd want to do that. Or do u lack reading comprehension?

I can see why YOU are arguing clocks are too difficult
Never said that. I said they're harder to comprehend than digital ones. I do know how to read an analog clock. But it doesn't matter these days. Also, correcting spelling mistakes online is the corniest thing some1 can do.

They don't doesn't mean they can't learn how to.
Since they didn't despite being taught, it means exactly this sweetie.
Let me guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you?

Forgetting things that don't matter much is a thing honey.

I've managed to learn both the clocks, just don't have a favorite one I want to defend at all costs, baby

Still can't understand how any kid cannot do it. Isn't that something you learn from your parents before you even go to school
wrote last edited by [email protected]Probably not -- time isn't that relevant before society puts you on the path towards hourly labor. I learned in elementary, but then I also grew up with digital clocks like most folks under 50.
Edit: apparently we have either a lot of on-the-clock preschoolers or folks who don't know when digital clock radios were invented. Perhaps both. If you cared about the clock time before you were 5 I feel sorry for you.

Let me rephrase it than - if someone is an idiot, they shouldn't be in the exam room. If you are concerned about it, it may be because you fit the category.
Yikes.
Also, since you ran out of arguments and started correcting people's spelling, *then.

"don't matter" is a key here sweetie. Anologue clocks are widely used.
I've managed to learn both the clocks,
I very much doubt it.

"yikes" what?
Passing exams is not an entitlement, it is an achievement. If someone is an idiot unable to understand the clock, they shouldn't be in the exam room in the first place - and they certainly shouldn't expect someone will start explaining clock to them when they are supposed to write an exam.

Eh, we don't teach them how to read a sundial or make a fire anymore either. I don't see a problem with removing old technology from school instruction.

Alright, ig they are. But not always used everywhere. People can opt for digital clock any time. If there's no digital clock somewhere you go, well, most of the time people carry digital devices which use the digital clock. There's as many digital clocks as there are smartphones. And People tend to check their smartphones a lot. Thus, they're more exposed to them. Therefore it doesn't really matter. My point still stands

Your point is?

Are people really this stupid now?
Just read comments of some users in this very thread. "Idiocracy" was a documentary after all.

They also have a calculator any time they want, why are we requiring mental arithmetic, sweetie?

I said this a LOT of times sweetie, pls write it down.
Here we go.....
BRAINS ARE FASTER WITH SMALLER CALCULATIONS THAN CALCULATORS AND ANALOG CLOCKS ARE NOT FASTER THAN DIGITAL ONES IN ANY WAYS
Was that large enough? Can u see it?

Honestly, mate - you are the best proof why the analogue clock skills are needed

Still wasn't large enough I see. I'm starting to suspect your ability to read. You're the best proof why reading comprehension is necessary.

Analogue clocks are a great example of kids having to understand a concept and apply it. And it's simple enough that anyone can learn it.
I often see examples where children are required to memorize a set solution, instead of showing understanding and reaching the solutions themselves.
These clocks are somewhat dated, but removing them just feels like another symptom of a failing educational system.

First: Some UK teachers exchanged the analogue with digital clocks. This was only to reduce interruptions by some students (during a specific kind of UK exams), who had trouble determining the remaining time in the heat of the exam battle.
Secondly: The use of analogue clocks is taught at UK schools. What's missing is the practice that former generations of pupils had. No more wristwatches, public clocks all but gone, and (what I am nostalgically missing from my youth) no more peeking onto parked car's dashboards to read the analogue clock there. Times have changed, and this specific partially lost ability is not the schools' fault. (Not to say that other things aren't...)
Can we please bury that stupid old meme, as it has been based on some inaccurate buzz and largely giving a completely inaccurate impression of the topic from the start...
I used to troll my teachers with inane questions to help my friends prepare for exams or quizzes that we knew were coming. I can't expect it's changed much.
