Pathetic.

I lied about knowing how to read these until high school, then I was too embarrassed to ask, so I learned how to read them.

As if they teach us how to read those clocks anyways

It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.

But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...

It's not useless.

It's just less useful that other things that should be taught in school. There is only so much time in a school year, and it shouldn't replace those more useful things in the curriculum.

Yeah let's teach them about credit and healthcare

As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree

What benefit does analog bring over digital other than nostalgia?
Once is objectively faster to read granularly, by the minute
