Not how to read analogue clocks lol.

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.

Parents might not be helping. Doesn’t mean they aren’t teaching it. Schools are experiencing a surge in apathetic students since covid and LLMs became widespread. Also teachers will complain about the standouts, doesn’t mean it’s every student.
You even said it yourself:

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.

Some people are illiterate everywhere. What’s your point? Anyone can look ip literacy stats in the US, you aren’t revealing some dirty secret. So some kids can’t tell time. Prove it’s worse instead of repeating whatever pointless hot take you’re pushing.

You are right I’m not from the States. However, my rather quick and shallow search has shown me that in the USA too, it should be taught in first year math classes how to draw and read analog clocks and in second year the concept of 24 hour days, AM and PM should be taught.

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

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