Don’t feel bad. The students that I see cannot even add numbers in their head or on paper. They need a calculator. Oh yeah, they CANNOT read an analog clock. They need a digital clock to tell them the time. They can’t spend 5 minutes without some sort of electronic entertainment. They have completely lost the art of sitting still and having patience—everything has to be NOW. I have my doubts about their survival skills.
That's the fault of parents. In my house, every kid can read an analog clock, and they can all write in cursive too!
