        Because of bullying and a curriculum driven by stats rather than allowing an individuals ability to reach their own goals in their time

        Yes some people do, this is why schools should be teaching such things to children. Not dumbing down education, so we have a generation of children who can't understand analogue clocks. Same goes for removing words from the dictionary because they are outdated.

        Idk wtf your problem is mate, yes I had trouble reading a clock when I was younger, but that doesn’t mean that my parents or teachers weren’t trying to teach me every single day. Just because you learned something quickly doesn’t mean everybody does

        Most people commenting here need a child with learning disabilities in their life to understand what these parents are talking about.

        Not surprised - I would homeschool, making sure my kids got involved in the wider community so they weren’t too isolated and were also better prepared for adult life x
