1. Mebbe not.

Do they still have clocks like this [img][/img] in schools ?

2. Yes, because it's on the standardized tests.

Not sure which year it is taught... maybe second or third grade.

3. Thanks. I had hoped they still had clocks.

It's a challenge to read the hands instead of a digital readout.

4. I ALWAYS had trouble telling time...I love me some digital

my computer now says 5:48 and I believe it....would have trouble finding that on the clock

5. I used to tach Kindergarten and I think (hard to remember) we touched on this as

Early as 5 or 6 y.o.

7. It's a challenge to teach, but

not as hard as teaching coins. Who uses those?

11. Elementary covers 5 to 10 year olds. What age are we talking about?

[raccoon]

14. My point is, it's kind of retro. Is it still on the state test?

Maybe they ought to take it off...

15. School classrooms still have clocks that look just like this.

The kids ought to be able to read them.

[raccoon]

16. Oh, yeah. nt

12. We had regular clocks in our classrooms in the inner-city middle school that I taught at

for a year. Only 2 of 100 7th graders could read the time, and then, with difficulty.

Put this side-by-side with the 'it's on the state tests'..................

17. I slept during that class in third grade. (The last grade I was in before unschooling.)

Took me awhile to be able to read clocks because of that.
