I remember in kindergarten we the teacher had a simple clock made out cardboard and she actually taught us how to tell time. This was in the late fifties. Now, a lot of the kids already knew but their were some that didn't.

I remember that too.

Thanks to that stupid cardboard clock, I had a lot of trouble learning how to tell time on a real clock. Here's why.

For 10:55, the teacher would place the little hand on 10 and the big hand on 55. That was easy to learn. But on a real clock, the little hand is rarely RIGHT ON a number. On a real clock, if it is 10:55, the big hand is on 55 and the little hand is practically on the 11. The teacher didn't teach us that.
