        It would cuz there's no better alternative. But analog clocks do have an alternative ........ Digital clocks

        I guess spelling didn't matter to you either? πŸ™„

        no better alternative

        Calculator is an alternative to the mental arithmetic sweetie. Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

          It's not really widely used anymore.

          Absolute and utter rubbish. Now go to the first high street shop with watches and try again.

          But clocks can be

          Your point is?

          Maps can be easy replace with a GPS. Ability to read maps is still (and should be) on the curriculum.

          Calculator has replaced the need to add, multiply and divide, yet we still ask children to learn these skills.

          Go figure πŸ™„

          Digital clocks exist there too

          Cuz the mind is quicker with smaller calculations than a calculator.

          But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones

            who are too lazy or too stupid

            They do know how to read the clock (digital ones πŸ™‚ ) Again, it doesn't make them idiots or lazy for not learning something they don't really need to learn

            Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

            What makes you think they don't have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks just because they don't? You might not know how ride a horse, but that doesn't mean you can't learn how to. Are you an idiot for not learning how to?

            They also know how to use calculator, they just don't knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam.

            Because if they did, they would have done during lessons to learn it, sweetie πŸ™„

              Digital clocks exist there too

              Do you see the difference between "exist" and "widely spread" or you are one of these unable to learn how to use the clock?

              Cuz

              A what?

              But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones

              Yes, that's precisely my point. People who are unable to understand analog clocks are also likely to not be able to understand any exams.

              It is simple really - if you are unable to do 2 x 2 without calculator or read half past three from the analog clock, you better stick to being a bricklayer or serving burgers rather than doing exams. There is no "entitlement" to do exams.

                Pointing out spelling mistakes is lame af. Yup it totally doesnt. Who cares lmfao

                Calculator is an alternative to the mental arithmetic sweetie

                And there's no alternative which allows you to use it without any required prior knowledge on how to use it. And therefore we use the calculator as an alternative for larger calculations.

                Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

                Because like I said, the mind is faster with smaller calculations. And, like I said, digital clocks are more convenient alternative to analog ones.

                  Thanks for calling me a sweetie. Love u too. Forgetting is a thing. Unlike previous generations they are not as much exposed to analog ones. Therefore they don't need to. Digital clocks are used in electronic devices etc.

                  They also know how to use calculator, they just don't knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam

                  Except basic math is necessary since the brain is faster with smaller calculations and analog clock really isn't that much necessary anymore. They can be replaced.

                    Actually, you are the best argument why understanding the clock should be a requirement. 🀣🀣🀣

                          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.

                              Let me guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you?

                                    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.

                                      guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you

                                      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

                                        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.
