Teenagers are now so bad at reading analogue clocks that UK schools have been forced to remove them from exam rooms.
Digital clocks are being installed instead, after helpless students complained they were unable to tell how much time they had left.
Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) deputy general secretary Malcolm Trobe says young people are increasingly incapable of reading the clocks.
"The current generation aren't as good at reading the traditional clock face as older generations," he told the Daily Telegraph.
"They are used to seeing a digital representation of time on their phone, on their computer. Nearly everything they've got is digital so youngsters are just exposed to time being given digitally everywhere."
Meanwhile, universities are considering abolishing compulsory handwriting in exams, after complaints from exam markers that students' handwriting is unreadable. Instead, students would be allowed to type their answers using computers.
UK schools are removing analogue clocks because students can’t read them
The absolute state ..
GOTT
bruv innit mohammed zed wat on clocks m8
t.London
Oh my country, what have you become? How could it end like this?
ALAHU QW FNASJFBDSHJFEDSFRE
>Oh no, an old technology that I grew up using is not familiar to people that are JUST coming of age
Yeah, it's like how I am always the only person in the room that still uses a sun dial and people are like, "Woaw, dude! How does that thing work?"
Digital is for retarded faggots.
All bow before the almighty analogue gods.
Complete bullshit

>rachel jeantel can't read cursive
CNN: Is cursive writing dead?
MSNBC: Is it time to end cursive writing?
The school system is failing the students by not teaching them how to tell time and instead of fixing that problem they choose to accept it as inevitable.
I am so glad I don't have to teach in the West. My only concern is how much influence it will have in the future.
The next thing you are going to ban are toilets because your school children can't poo in the loo
How about just teaching them how to do it instead of spending hundreds or even thousands on replacing the clocks?
Jfc this is so retarded, you can teach even a mentally deficient, two digit IQ nigger how to read an analog clock in like 5-10 minutes without much effort.
Just teaching people to read them would be easier, faster, cheaper and more efficient.
Niggers can't read so let's get rid of those racist books!
What, you don't write on wax tablets anymore?
oi, yasif wat dat big tower with number on circle?
To be fair, 12 hour time×2 is retarded. 24 hour clocks should be a thing,
STRAFE
i really dont see why this is bad
I'm a young millenial and have trouble telling the time on watches sometimes. My handwriting is also horrible so these sound like good things desu
Who cares, can you use a slide rule? Oh what you can't? Oh the absolute state of the modern generation oh lord how will society ever carry on without a slide rule oh no we must be stupid now because kids these days use calculators instead of the slide rule!!!!
Most niggers can’t read cursive for some reason, i thought it was a meme but i remember back in the Zimmerman days a meme gor spread that said “Trayvon’s prayer” that it had a bunch of racist shit written in cursive and many nogs shared it on faceberg and twitter because they literally couldn’t read it.
It wasn’t until a few whites and some nigs capable of reading it told them wht it said that they stopped postinf it lmao.
Prove that you’re not a mentally deficient millennial faggot by telling the time in this watch
Typing for exams is an appropriate change I think.
This is the Crux of the liberal agenda.
>I'm helpless, I don't know how to do this
>so it needs to be changed to accomadate me, since me not knowing how to do something isn't my fault
>I demand authority figures change my environment to be more accompanying to my inabilities
Instead of expecting students, teenagers, no less, to be able to read a clock is bad. Spending money and effort to change their environment to accommodate them is their MO. Doesn't matter that they're literally foregoing the opportunity to learn a useful skill. Something that's so easy and commonplace that we've been doing it as a society for almost 800 years without pause.
dem crackas an de cracka runes.
Should have replaced 10-60 with symbols as well.
Day of the bin when
>wearing a fossil
Holy shit you fuckin child. I hope you don't wear that thing in public.
Spend like $200 on a watch that won't make you look like an embarrassment.

Replacement immigration + liberalism sure was a wonderful idea.
It's under repair. The bonging stopped in 2017 and won't be back until 2020
>OI ITS NOIN BONG
>my niece goes to expensive private school
>wakes me up from naps for math help and to quiz her on spelling words
>cannot into cursive or analog clock
>gets mad when I tell her dad and I could read analog clocks at her age
>plans to avoid analog clocks
>I'm getting her a watch for Christmas to troll her
Better off I say. Do you see how sharp those clock handles are? Absolutely lethal.

Millenial here.
Learned this in first grade. Not sure why I remember that class so well.
>mfw schools here are gonna switch from cursive to printing each letter individually like a retard in a year or two
the world deserves to die
honestly writing with keyboards would make everything much faster. i don't see any problem there.
>g-shock
Opinion discarded you filthy casual.
How hard is it to differentiate between am and pm really?
>fix the problem
>too hard
>take away replace with retard mode
>all good here

>t. doing my GSCE
>for some reason
That reason is that learning it requires paying attention to a teacher
The thing is that analog clocks are nothing hard. I knew how to read one when I was 3 and I'm not old fart - just 24 yo.
If you were talking about stuff like logarithmic ruler or something then you'd have a point since they require aome effort to understand, but clocks? Give me a break.
I had literally never heard of any single person unable to read cursive or analog clocks til this very day. How?
My Continental has an analog clock in the dashboard. Class as fuck.
good i prefer military time on a digital clock,so does many here
Look up tidepod challenge, then apply that logic to the rest of western millenials coupled by using too much internet
Yes its that bad

Also british schools can't even teach this anymore, but I bet they know the entire life of the prophet mohammed
>not having a beater to wear when you work construction or go biking or anything
Yeah my 200m depth rated solar-powered radio-synced nerd watch is so unstylish lmao
Post your collection or fuck off, boner. I bet you wear an invicta.
Don't be a cock, bin that clock!
habibi
This is all a part of (((their))) plan. They are going to make us slaves to the technology they control. It seems like nothing but this is the beginning.
TL:DR? Niggers.
How to ruin the life for niggers? Always use terminal based operational systems, always write in cursive, always use X-sounds in your sentences.
Probably. But It's UK, you can never tell for sure.
>tfw Skool ends at 12:3 O’clock
>having gadgets on watch
What, it doesn't come with a compact dildo as well? How else will you maintain your faggotry?
But I'm 20. Most if not all of the students in the university exams I attended had analog-face wristwatches. Most of them were writing in cursive script much like I was.
My point is: where are all these uncultured idiots? Is this a thing that's been happening only in the last, say, 5 years?
On that note, how will some of them become sailors in the future? They need to know analogue clock.
Idiocracy
>Instead, students would be allowed to type their answers using computers.
Good, finally. Who writes with graphite on dead trees in 2018. Glad they didn't make em chosel it into a rock on write it on papayrus
My handwriting is readable and complemented regularly but I'd unironically support ditching handwritten exams. As long as you can write properly I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use a keyboard and get all of your knowledge down within the allotted time.
You do realize electricity can be taken away, right?
Boom, frogposter
If you can't tell which hand is the hour and which is the minute, you deserve to die.
What you fucks consider handwriting is a joke in comparison, what people hundred years ago were considered handwriting.
Also, why are you so inclined on making yourself the old generation shitting on change and new things. You sound just like boomers who refuse to write emails because handshakes are a better form of communication.
Even people who grew up with analogue clock faces are slow in reading them by now. We are used to digital and that's a good thing.
i remember someone posting a simmilar Sinn before, was that you?
The absolute state of Britain
It's called, buy a fucking Casio F-91W you mongoloid.
Have your parents completely outsourced on their children's education? Just about my whole class was capable of reading, writing, doing simple maths and most certainly reading the clock by the time we started school.
what are you talking about? most public places use analog clocks. they are ubiquitous
The supreme irony of ironies. Couldn't they... I don't know... teach them how to read them?
JFC.
Without the bonging how do the poor muslim youth of london twll the time?
We are supposed to have been taught in primary (elementary) school. It is required by government so either these schools are going full retard because of a few retards or out of the 6 schools I have been to I have simply not noticed how fucking brain people are in school.
Either way, the schools shouldn't have to do this. The people which are failing to teach children to read numbers should be locked up.
To be fair, the education has gone to shit. I'm in one of the top 100 schools in the UK and it although admittedly it isn't too bad, every day we get the teacher's stupid fucking feminist and social justice warrior ideology rammed down our throats. I can literally ask any student about genders or race and there is about a 30% chance that they will either get offended or call me "dumb" despite me having some of the best grades in the top set for most subjects.
If you cant read a clock, you fail the test.
I never understood how to read an analogue clock nor did I learn basic math, I just couldn't learn because it was too boring, failing too learn is a sign of high testosterone
I could never read analog clocks. They are way to much trouble to be able to tell what time it is. Why even have them anyway when we have digital? Just another thing from olden times that needs to be done away with.
>analog clock
>has some gay design that makes the stylised numbers and hands hard to make out
just get some simple shit with a white background and black numbers with a good font
Q predicted this.
we literally make fun of kids that cannot learn analogue clocks in my country. TOP FUCKING ZOZ
i actually know this and its fucking based
>mohammed (pbuh)
das rite
Dyslexia which could make it more difficult to read an analogue clock is a sign of high test in the womb, you're low test and should be making fun of yourself
>wear nice watch once
>people ask me for the time
>suddenly sperg out and can't read watch
>never wear watch again
every hour a stabbing occurs with a spoon. the screams notify them of the time.
>school removes something instead of teaching how it works
the absolute state of (((public))) "education"
I bet you cant navigate with adequate precision using stars.
needs more red circles and arrows so I know what to look at
wat about red jumpers?
pull the eletricity and watch these vermin die en masse
Oh how the mighty have fallen
If only there was some state-sponsored institution where certified teaching personnel could teach teenagers about things like clocks and other knowledge.
Don't be a cock.
Bin that old clock.
Don't support terrorists.
Report any horologists.
you don't know how to use a sun dial ? seriously ?
They replaced some clocks in my law school with horrific giant red digital clocks. Supposedly more like the actual bar. So I like that.
