Feels more like we should teach kids better rather than remove the clocks.

Perhaps we should start paying teachers so that we attract more intelligent ones with more passion

Feels like we have a limited amount of time to teach kids and we have more important things to teach them during that time

Edit:
It'd be nice if all the fuckin edgelords downvoting had the courage to say what they'd like to remove from the curriculum to make room for fuckin analog clock lessons.

I am pretty sure this was being taught for maybe 1 day in 1st grade after you learn about numbers. For first grader learning analogue clock probably is also a fun activity.

If you think a first grader learns anything but swear words, after a single day of teaching, I've got some news for you.
