        Not the one widely used, but they do know how to use the clock. And they’re not really that much more used than digital clocks. Therefore, it doesn’t matter

            It would cuz there’s no better alternative. But analog clocks do have an alternative … Digital clocks

              cuz

              I guess spelling didn’t matter to you either? 🙄

              no better alternative

              Calculator is an alternative to the mental arithmetic sweetie. Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

                Pointing out spelling mistakes is lame af. Yup it totally doesnt. Who cares lmfao

                And there’s no alternative which allows you to use it without any required prior knowledge on how to use it. And therefore we use the calculator as an alternative for larger calculations.

                Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

                Because like I said, the mind is faster with smaller calculations. And, like I said, digital clocks are more convenient alternative to analog ones.

                  Yeah… I can see why YOU are arguing clocks are too difficult 🤦

                  Now read again. Slowly.

                  Actually, you are the best argument why understanding the clock should be a requirement. 🤣🤣🤣

                    Never said that. I said they’re harder to comprehend than digital ones. I do know how to read an analog clock. But it doesn’t matter these days. Also, correcting spelling mistakes online is the corniest thing some1 can do.
