    Its becoming a reality though. I work in a school (primary and secondary) and the exams officer is putting digital clocks only in the exam rooms for that reason.

    Students not being able to read an analogue clock being a reason may seem silly, but being able to read one shouldn't be a requirement to be able to do well in exams, especially UK exams where students have enough to deal with already.

    When my friend's daughter was 9 years old and he was complaining how she didn't know how to read an analogue clock.

    I mean, I wound up teaching my nephews when they were 4 ... not sure what's stopping him from doing it though.
