Does your teen read a hand clock ?

[Anonymous]

We have two analogs at home,but he still keeps asking.
Don't forget that they don't know what 16:00 is.
In Europe, many stores show their hours going up to 24.

No

They also don’t know what month is what number, how to write or read cursive, how to do long division, the state capitols, anything about eastern civilizations, etc. They do know lots about the civil rights movement and great migration and slavery and racism.

So was that a deflection comment or did she actually tell you the time off the analog clock?

You realize that this is a huge issue when they hit the work place, right? This is a basic life skill. Please teach them, asap.

That is no big deal if they can count. This will all be fine. Truly.

I have tweens, not teens, but we've only ever had analog clocks in their bedrooms and they don't have cell phones yet, so we've only bought them analog watches.

Yes we have.
It’s just sad what they no longer cover in elementary school.

Yes, I hung one in her room and made her get an analog watch (Swatch watch) when she was in about 3rd grade.

My kid is dyslexic and has dyscalculia, it’s very hard for her. She is very inconsistent in telling time. I hope people understand it can be a part of a learning disability. And no, you can’t tell by looking at her 🙄 and it’s not the parents fault. We go over it all the time, it doesn’t “ stick”. Neurobiology and all.

We purposely have analog clocks around our house for this very reason. From an early age, we would ask the kids to tell us what time it was by looking at the analog clock.
