Would it matter if they didn’t know how to add and multiply without calculator?

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? 🙄
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.

Pointing out spelling mistakes is lame af. Yup it totally doesnt. Who cares lmfao
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.
Because like I said, the mind is faster with smaller calculations. And, like I said, digital clocks are more convenient alternative to analog ones.
