On an interesting clock note. Yes, analogue clocks are in school, but at home, kids are surrounded by digital clocks on their screens.

So we are getting kids who can easily reach a digital clock, but are struggling with basics "short hand means hour"

    Long hand means hour divided by 5. Cut the kids some slack, analog cocks are confusing. They gotta learn their five times tables before they can consistently read clocks. I remember when I was old enough to understand the concept, but a little bit too young to do multiples of five in My head.
