Schools in UK
Schools are removing analogue clocks from exam halls as teenagers 'cannot tell the time'. This is suppose to be happening in the UK. I imagine the rest of us will be doing the same thing. Seems strange to me.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/educatio...nagers-unable/
Teachers are now installing digital devices after pupils sitting their GCSE and A-level exams complained that they were struggling to read the correct time on an analogue clock.

That's just ridiculous, does that mean they aren't teaching children to tell the time on an analogue clock anymore? The kids today are using their brain less and less these days. They use calculators instead of learning how to work it out using the brain, whatever next.

If a young person, especially at GCE and A-level age, can't tell the time from an analogue clock, they don't deserve to be even sitting the exams.
In fact, I sometimes find it appalling just how little young people know these days.
I'm sure it goes back to Tony B Liar's 'dumbing down' policy which, to be honest, was one of his more successful moves!

Whether the bloody kids learnt it, I really can't say!
