Well this is certainly a question I never thought I’d read on the internet.
The school systems need an overhaul.

This isn’t a problem with “the school system”. I know how to read an analog clock. But it’s not something I have ever done daily and so I have never been in practice with it.
Many of the comments here seem to be confused, instead simply instructing me how to read an analog clock in general.
That wasn’t the question or my issue. On a wristwatch, the space between the numbers of the minute hand is pretty small. I am not elderly, but it is difficult for me to see quickly precisely at what tick mark the minute hand is at… especially if it is getting to be toward the next minute and I don’t realize.
One user suggested to briefly also glance at the second hand when I need more precision, which seems to help alleviate part of the problem that I describe.
