Schools Are Removing Analogue Clocks
Because Kids Can’t Read Them
Schools in England are removing analog clocks from classrooms because students can't tell time with them since they only understand digital clocks.
While this may be shocking – Jimmy had the feeling that we might have the same problem here.
So we went out on the street to ask kids if they know what time it is and these are our very unscientific findings.

Bill Haley & His Comets
Rock Around The Clock
(1955)
Bill
Haley & His Comets was an American Rock&Roll band founded in
1952 that continued playing until Haley's death in 1981. The band was
the earliest group of white musicians to bring Rock&Roll to the
attention of white America and the rest of the world. From late 1954
to1956, the group placed nine singles into the Top 20 and three more in
the Top Ten. Many fans consider them to be as revolutionary in their
time as The Beatles or the Rolling Stones were a decade or two later.
Bill Haley was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
U.K. Schools getting rid of Analog Clocks
Because teens “Cannot tell tTime”
What has two hands and a face but no arms and legs?
A clock, of course! Some kids won’t understand that joke because the only clocks they know how to use have digital numbers.
A teachers union in the U.K. says not only are teenagers more used to digital clocks these days, some don’t even know how to read analog clocks, The Telegraph reports.
“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, told the newspaper.
As high-school-age students in the U.K. prepare for their major standardized tests, the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and A-level exams, schools are working to make the process easier for them. Exam rooms used to have analog clocks, but as test day draws near, those will be replaced with digital clocks so students can keep track of their time.
“Nearly everything they’ve got is digital so youngsters are just exposed to time being given digitally everywhere,” Trobe told The Telegraph. Teachers want their students to feel as relaxed as possible during exams and having an analog clock in the room could be a cause of unnecessary stress, he said.
In the United States, schools using the Common Core curriculum standards for math must teach kids how to read analog as well as clocks in the first grade.

Schools Are Getting Rid Of Analog Clocks Because They’re Hard To Read
What time is displayed on this clock?
If you said “1:49” in less than 5 seconds without second-guessing yourself, then congrats, you probably did better than most current teenagers and you probably grew up using one of these:

Bill Haley - Rock Around the Clock
Lyrics
In 1954 Bill Haley and his Comets released “Rock around the Clock,” and it was the sound the young had been waiting for. It was the first record to have–all in one place–a lyric about all-night partying, a thrilling guitar solo, and a rock-solid beat, with its drums way up in the mix. What’s more, its success was on an international scale, and this is why it crossed a generational threshold, ushering in the rock ‘n’ roll era.
