    It would cuz there’s no better alternative. But analog clocks do have an alternative … Digital clocks

      cuz

      I guess spelling didn’t matter to you either? 🙄

      no better alternative

      Calculator is an alternative to the mental arithmetic sweetie. Yes we still want kids to know that 2 times 2 is four without using a calculator. Go figure why.

        Pointing out spelling mistakes is lame af. Yup it totally doesnt. Who cares lmfao

        And there’s no alternative which allows you to use it without any required prior knowledge on how to use it. And therefore we use the calculator as an alternative for larger calculations.

        Because like I said, the mind is faster with smaller calculations. And, like I said, digital clocks are more convenient alternative to analog ones.

          Yeah… I can see why YOU are arguing clocks are too difficult 🤦

          And there’s no alternative which allows you to use it without any required prior knowledge on how to use it. And therefore we use the calculator as an alternative for larger calculations.

          Now read again. Slowly.

          Actually, you are the best argument why understanding the clock should be a requirement. 🤣🤣🤣
