This bothers me more than not teaching cursive writing (something our local
schools have returned). The beauty of telling time by looking at an analog
clock face is that it teaches two things: The relationship of time and makes
time a sort of "hands-on" commodity, and that it is a basic education in
fractions, something about which folks are becoming more and more clueless.
But this isn't computers, it's the digital clock which we all know predated
the common usage of computers a bit.

On the news yesterday it was revealed that here in the US 80% of kids
cannot tell time by looking at a clock. I'm the opposite: I look at the
numbers and imagine the face of a clock to know what the time is. Chris

How do those 80% of kids tell the time if not by looking at a clock ?
