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.

I'm shocked a parent would post this shit online. I learnt how to tell the time way before kindergarten. It's partly your fault that your child can be classified as ignorant. FHL for having you as a parent!

SO? obviously she's smart, some intelligent people have problems with analog. maybe you should've tried harder to HELP her learn "sadmother" - since that's part of your job!!!!

lol.. its not neccisarily a bad thing considering that most clocks nowadays are digital... i can do it but it takes me slightly longer than just looking at a digital clock and seeing "#:##"

It sometimes takes me longer to read a digital clock because my brain occasionally refuses to compute 24hr clock. This kid clearly can't tell time on an analogue clock at all, she looked for a bit and then gave up trying. If she can't tell time I blame the parents.. taking longer to read an analogue is one thing but not being able to read it at all is another..

Jesus Christ.. How many bloody Americans don't realise 'honour' is the original ENGLISH spelling. Stop 'correcting' people with your stupid bastardized lazy American spelling. They are technically BOTH correct, if anything honour is more correct. If you want to drop letters out of every bloody word that's up to you. Those of us who use correct English spellings shouldn't have to suffer your stupidity.

How can so many people have problems reading an analogue clock, the hands point to the time for you its not exactly hard. I know im 24 but there were plenty digital clocks around throughout my childhood and i can read both, hell I can read the novelty clocks with the numbers backwards. its nothing to do with digital clocks being the only ones around (which they are not) or not being taught in school (take some ******* initiative people) or it being a dead medium its all to do with lazyness. There you go OP you may have a honour roll daughter but shes a lazy arse who couldn't be bothered learning something as easy as a analogue clock.

My brother taught me to tell time on an analogue watch when he was taught it at school, he was so excited about it! He wanted everyone to know he knew how to read the clocks! I don't know how anyone can't read a clock! What the hell are people teaching their kids?
