Do kids know how to read an analog clock?

[Jayburner]

Do millenials know how read a clock face? Do they even teach that now?

[chubbybunny]

There's a lot of things the younger generation doesn't know about.... Tying Shoelaces, Telephone boxes, rotary dialing phones, house phones attached to walls by a long lead, (UK) 2p and 10p slots on payphones, Reading analogue clock faces, TV that used to shut down at 11pm, (UK) TV's having 3 channels.

That's just from me thinking for a minute, but i'm tired and need my sleep.

...Maybe if you count the 'younger generation' as people born after 2013?

Even I was never taught how, I mean I'm not sure what the gap is to be considered a 'millenial'. I'm 23 but I learned how to use an analog clock on my own. As well with tying shoes. School never taught any of it.

It's taught in schools. The problem is parents are too stupid to make sure that their kids learn it. If a kid chooses not to learn, the parent is the only one with any power (US).

[taliey]

Are kids just naturally expected to know how to read an analog clock without any help whatsoever?

[Rustedsaint]

I know it was taught in Canada not sure about the us thou

[Jayburner]

I'm just saying.

what is 5 of 9?

[Deleted]

Though I do know how to read analog clocks I don't expect kids younger then 10 to. I have no idea how imperial units work, why? beacuse they're old and something better was come along. It's a useless skill to them now.

[God Save The King]

They went over analog in my elementary school, almost two decades ago. The also go over it in my nephew's school, he knows how to read the analog clocks when he visits. It's not a hard skill, you could teach it to a 10 year old in probably 5 minutes if they didn't know anything about it.

Digital is far more common and heavily used on nearly everything. Analog is more of a style choice rather than functional, especially due to their potential for inaccuracy.

Quarter to 6 is a phrase used by idiots to sound smarter than actual intelligent people that simply say 5:45.

I'm just being rude. Jayburner likes to make a lot of threads talking down to people he considers "millennials" so thought I'd throw it back at him. Again, just being rude.

I am more concerned with my north american friends honestly needing to ask me what 17hrs is in 1-12PM
