Oh you ca be sure they're just as stupid here. Liberals breed low IQ jackasses.

Why are they not being taught to read them?

"
The situation isn’t only present in the U.K., though.

A 2017 survey in Oklahoma City found that only 1-in-10 children in the city between the ages of 6-12 owned a watch. Of that number, only 1-in-5 knew how to read the analog watches, according to KFOR."

Oklahoma, liberal capital of the USA.

I remember in the 1st grade in 1945 having a class on telling time for those 6 year old kids who couldn't. Most of the kids already could as well as already knowing how to read youth books. Surely each school could have an hour of instruction on reading a clock. But they'll waste money on digital clocks.

Well this is part of the problem.

1) Parents expect schools to educate their kids, rather than doing part of it themselves,

2) The aims of education are massively screwed up

There was a simple childhood rhyme to help remember how to use an analog clock.

"Half past monkeys ass and quarter to his balls".

My job is done here.

i knew how to read, write, do simple math and tell time long before i set foot in a classroom.

and tie my shoes

so did my kids

Analog clocks are a Muslim plot.
The figures on most of them are Arabic Numerals.
Except for a few with proper Roman Numerals.

Kids can't read cursive in the US now. Want to code a message? Just use cursive. They're that derp!

Forget having to go all complicated and use Morse Code n stuff.

It used to be that kids could tell time, read and write by the time they started 1st grade. Even if the mother was working. From early 1942 to end of 1945 my mother worked in an aircraft factory and she found time to teach me how to read by age 6.

Why are they not being taught to read them?

My question, exactly. It would seem that the so-called "educational" system has failed once again. Lazy teachers breed lazy students.

Analog clocks are stupid and obsolete. Any of you know how to place and read a sundial? Nope.

That would mean they would have to sacrifice time otherwise used for more important social justice indoctrination.

Wait til the op finds out that Boy Scouts now accept girls.

Yes, but..analog clocks and Greenwich Mean Time. Owait, that was like the 1st digital watches we did that with..sync to Greenwich mean time.
