    I’ve worked in 2 different schools in the IT department and 4 others as a volunteer lecturer (I got a name tag that said Technology Evangelist) I found that putting an analog clock in the screen saved of computers in the classroom was more likely to result in the clock actually being on time.

    Too many clocks in classrooms are very old or even battery powered but neglected.

    I don’t think kids are dumb just they aren’t getting a world that is properly maintained by competent people that care about their work and are adequately resourced to do the whole job.

      Well, in Germany… depending on the school and people, we cared a lot for those clocks and maintained them well

      During my final exams that lasted from may to July they didn’t even bother to set the analog clock to the right hour…

      Even for our baccalaureate
