Here is why traditional clocks disappear classrooms
At least in the United Kingdom, where children can not seem to say the time.
Outside the alphabet, learn what the big hand and the small hand means on this circular object filled with numbers is one of the first things that small children learn to school. But in the age of technology, that the basic skill set seems to bite dust. As a result, some schools in the United Kingdom replace analog clocks with numerics after teenagers complained not to say at what time it was examinations.
"The current generation is not as good at reading the traditional clock face as older generations", Secretary General of Malcolm, Deputy Secretary General of the Association of School and Colleges Officers ( ASCL)RecountTelegraph. "They are used to seeing a digital representation of time on their phone, on their computer. Almost everything they have, it's digital, then young people are only exposed to time being numerically everywhere."
Trobe added that they wanted to do the major testing process as non-stress as possible and that there was a major advantage to install digital clocks because "it's a lot less easy to go wrong on a digital clock when you are working against time. "
You might be tempted to assume that "not can read a clock" is just a brilliant new excuse that modern teens designed to get an extra time on exams (like the old "can I use the routine of the room bath "). But other teachers have led to social media to say that their students seem to be unable to reveal time unless it is literally stated for them. And Ruislip High School in London has already replaced his analog clocks with digital after noticing that students seemed to have trouble determining how long they had gone on a test.
In more depressing news, it seems that today's children also forget how to use a pen and pencil.
"To enter a pencil and move it, you need a strong control of refined muscles of your fingers. Children need many possibilities to develop these skills", Sally Payne, pediatric occupation therapist head in the heart of The Foundation of England NHS confidence,RecountTelegraph in February. "It's easier to give a child an iPad than to encourage them to make muscle building games such as building blocks, cut and paste, pull toys and ropes. For that reason, they do not Do not develop the underlying foundation skills they need to seize and gold a pencil. "
The technology is excellent, but it is important for us as a civilization not to become so dependent on that we can not literally live without it. Given the rise of technical dependency,and the disastrous effects he can have on our relationshipsIt is crucial to bring children to deposit the iPad and learn some basic skills.
