LONDON (Fox 32 News) - Some British schools are removing old-school clocks because students cannot read them.
Yes, we're talking about clocks with a "face" and "hands."
“The current generation aren’t as good at reading the traditional clock face as older generations,” Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), told The Telegraph. “They are used to seeing a digital representation of time on their phone, on their computer."
He said that having to figure out what time it is using an analog clock might be too stressful during exam time.
Stolen from HERE.
Then, I think maybe the schools should be teaching them. But, my God I was taught how to "tell time" before I went into kindergarten.
ReplyDeletejust think of all the other perceptions that are lost when these clocks are gone -- no references to other times and spaces.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately lots of children can 't read the time any longer.venetian anonymous
