I’ve been saying this a lot recently, but a calcucan sometimes be a clock.

Broken clock is right twice a day, but there’s a reason we don’t use them to tell time shrug-outta-hecks

Those clocks are still all in schools, lol.

I mean, they’re used everywhere still and aren’t exactly a dated form of timekeeping or anything.

The newer generation might not know how to read them.

Could it be, that they are in school to learn stuff?

I’m forcing my kids to learn it. Both digital and analog clocks have use cases, but the truth is that analog clocks are simply faster to parse.

On an interesting clock note. Yes, analogue clocks are in school, but at home, kids are surrounded by digital clocks on their screens.
So we are getting kids who can easily reach a digital clock, but are struggling with basics “short hand means hour”

Barely any of them can use a sundial either.

Long hand means hour divided by 5. Cut the kids some slack, analog cocks are confusing. They gotta learn their five times tables before they can consistently read clocks. I remember when I was old enough to understand the concept, but a little bit too young to do multiples of five in My head.
