According to a report in the Times Educational Supplement teachers are considering replacing traditional clocks
in GCSE and A-level exam rooms because pupils need a digital clock to be able to tell the time

:shock: :?
We have just returned from California where part of our 8yr old grandson's classwork, brought home every Friday, was to write in the time shown on an A4 sheet of clock faces and then, given another A4 sheet of blank clock faces, draw the correct 'clock hands for a time given underneath each.
The 8yr old got them all right. If 15yr olds can't then maybe they should be taught how to rather than dumbing down the entire system.
