My brother can not tell the time on a clock. He is 10 this year.

I think it's a symptom of mobiles, iPads, computers etc.

Or just teach them how to tell time...

My 6 year old can read a clock.

I'm pretty sure my 6 month old can tell time. Every morning at 4 o'clock the little bugger is wide awake screaming at until he gets food.

That should go over real well once they get into the workforce. /s

This makes sense in education today. If they can't read a clock, remove it. Isn't the modern education system wonderful.
