Now go to the first high street shop with watches and try again

Digital clocks exist there too

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

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

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 the 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.

  Nope. They don’t doesn’t mean they can’t learn how to. They won’t be able to understand exams only if they can’t learn how to.
  
  You’re basically repeating all the points I’ve already addressed.

    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
