Can your kids read a clock?

[Remote]

A while back I was at some party and I asked a kid what time it was.

I didn't have my phone and wasn't wearing a watch, but there was a clock on the wall of the dining room.

He didn't know how to read it. Now I'm not here to bash an 8 year old kid. If he wasn't taught, that's not on him.

But given that handwriting in cursive doesn't seem to be taught these days, it made me wonder. Do kids even learn how to tell time off a clock? Or is this out of style now because numbers are displayed digitally on phones and tablets?

Theyre also not teaching them how to read time on a sun dial

I could have. If I got up from my seat. Which was facing the opposite direction from that wall.

Seems like black folk aren’t allowed to have that. We’re just not trying hard enough or need to be beat

You must learn to delegate in life.
