Now go to the first high street shop with watches and try again

Digital clocks exist there too

Calculator has replaced the need to add, multiply and divide, yet we still ask children to learn these skills.

Cuz the mind is quicker with smaller calculations than a calculator.

But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones

    Do you see the difference between "exist" and "widely spread" or you are one of these unable to learn how to use the clock?

    Cuz

    A what?

    But analog clocks are harder to comprehend than digital ones

    Yes, that's precisely my point. People who are unable to understand analog clocks are also likely to not be able to understand any exams.

    It is simple really - if you are unable to do 2 x 2 without calculator or read half past three from the analog clock, you better stick to being a bricklayer or serving burgers rather than doing exams. There is no "entitlement" to do exams.

    Nope. They don't doesn't mean they can't learn how to. They won't be able to understand exams only if they can't learn how to.

    You're basically repeating all the points I've already addressed.

    Since they didn't despite being taught, it means exactly this sweetie.

    Forgetting things that don't matter much is a thing honey.

    guess, you have never managed to learn the clock, have you

    I've managed to learn both the clocks, just don't have a favorite one I want to defend at all costs, baby

    Anologue clocks are widely used

    Alright, ig they are. But not always used everywhere. People can opt for digital clock any time. If there's no digital clock somewhere you go, well, most of the time people carry digital devices which use the digital clock. There's as many digital clocks as there are smartphones. And People tend to check their smartphones a lot. Thus, they're more exposed to them. Therefore it doesn't really matter. My point still stands

    I said this a LOT of times sweetie, pls write it down.

    Here we go.....

    BRAINS ARE FASTER WITH SMALLER CALCULATIONS THAN CALCULATORS AND ANALOG CLOCKS ARE NOT FASTER THAN DIGITAL ONES IN ANY WAYS

    Was that large enough? Can u see it?

    So digital clocks should be allowed in exams that allow calculators? I mean both are taught in the lower grades and if calculators are allowed in high school, so should digital clocks be, at least according to your logic

    You're ratioed in each and every comment and still you act with this feeling of superiority. I admire this level of confidence or should I say lack of self reflection.

    Where I live, students get a calculator in I think 8th or 9th grade. So at this point, it would be ok to also hang a digital clock in the classroom, right?

    If you are repeatedly misunderstood and want to change that, maybe rephrase your point if you have one. Than you might even be taken seriously.

    He's honestly so cringe. Must be a sour old guy who wants to demonstrate his superiority in the least effort taking way possible. He's made so many comments and not a single valid point. If he finds he cannot make a good argument, he turns to insulting and "rEaD aGaIn sLoWly".

    Around 10 minutes. Not that you would be able to read this from an analogue clock...

    More sure than your parents when you were born sweetie.

    Highly doubt it. A lot of people know how to read analog clocks but not many defend it like their life depends on it. It must've taken you majority of your childhood to learn it, if you're so proud of that trivial skill. 🤔 Buuutt, since u don't even know how to read, that's not really a surprise.

    Not that you can read all this without text-to-speech xD

    I totally misunderstood your point. You disagreed with the guy who said only diagnosed disabilities should be treated with respect so I thought you agreed with me when I said unrelated skills shouldn't be discriminate against. Apparently the discrimination never was an issue for you. I am once again disappointed in humanity.

    I'm not really sure what you're talking about, but I think you might be missing context. When I said he's using text-to-speech I don't mean he's blind, I mean he can't read. Cuz in a different thread he corrected when I typed "U" and replied "*you". And he keeps saying "read again" that's why I said that? Is this what you meant?

    Totally annoying. I also told him to rephrase

    When I said he's using text-to-speech I don't mean he's blind, I mean he can't read.

    I reached common ground with him that diagnosed dyslexic people should get special treatment and I extended it to other unrelated skills like reading analog clocks (in biology exams). You, on the other hand, make fun of dyslexia. What context did I miss? Is ablism ok when the butt of the joke is an asshole? If the conversion was about whether dyslexic people or non native speakers should get extra time or something, would you be team "nah, they are just stupid"?

    You're actually right, that wasn't nice.

    I actually didn't know there was such a condition before this. Ig I went overboard with the "even 6year Olds can read". I just lost patience with that ahole and decided to drop Down to his level. I thought I will criticize him for something he can't seem to do since he criticizes others personal choices.

    If the conversion was about whether dyslexic people or non native speakers should get extra time or something, would you be team "nah, they are just stupid"?

    Now that you say it, that actually sounds very much like something an asshole would say. I crossed a boundary that I wouldn't have liked to cross in my right mind. My bad, I'm sorry

    Lol no one wants that orange clown. How tf did this get political even LMFAOAOAOAO. You're so run out of arguments, you had to bring in a politician into an argument about analog and digital clocks. You're the most unintentionally ridiculous guy I've bumped into on this platform 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
