Today, I asked my daughter what time it was. She stared at the clock for several seconds before muttering, "I don't know". She's 14 years old and on the honour roll, and yet she can't tell the time on an analogue clock. FML

I know college kids who can't read a regular clock. It scares me that these people are the future of this world.

Actually, honour is the way most of the rest of the english speaking world spells it. Honor is what the US changed it to. You should get your info straight before you start making fun of others. It makes you look like an idiot.

how about you learn it to her, instead of mocking you own child on FML.

that's not that bad. I'm 15 and can't. right when we were learning to tell time they put digital clocks in all the rooms and teachers rarely spent time teaching.

I'm 27 and was never taught. everywhere we had digital clocks so no one bothered. it's like math now a days. kids don't really learn it, they learn to use a calculator

And so what ? I'm 21, best student in my university, hoping to get a Ph.D. later, got a job but I'm dyspraxic and can't read analogue. It's really no big deal.

dispraxia is a muscular and coordination problem, it has nothing to do with reading clocks

lol did you see the other one that said Dyscalculia is the opposite of Dyslexia? Also.. Dyspraxia is an immaturity in the way that the brain processes information. It causes problems with perception, language and thought, therefore it could cause problems reading a clock.

If you still can't figure it out at age 22, it really is a little late in life to blame a parent...
