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

      Mate, they do. Part of math classes in the first or second year. Source: I’m a teacher.

        Since you say mate, I assume you don’t live in America. Some of these kids can’t even read. I asked teachers.

      If the clocks are still in schools, and their schedules are based on time, the kids are going to figure out how to read them.

      Maybe think before you call others dumb…

        The teachers literally told me some can’t even read so somebody isn’t helping.

      Analogue clocks are a much better tool to visualise time than digital. There’s only advantages in learning to read them.

      My 6 year old learned in school this year, he had homework about it and everything

        I was just speculating whether that will be taught in the future. Kudos

  Idk why this is so downvoted when it’s demonstrably accurate.

  I learned how to read a clock in grade school but analog clocks were phased out for digital clocks by the time I reached middle school and weren’t in my high school at all.

  My daughter is now going to the same grade school I went to and all the analog clocks have been swapped out for digital.

  I personally taught my daughter how to read an analog clock before she even started school but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t teach her in school since it’s not necessary anymore

  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.

    I don’t care how adept you are at reading an analog clock, there’s no way it’s faster than simply reading a (max) 4 digit number unless you have some massive dyslexia.
