Not only do children have problems with old clocks, they also struggle with Roman Numerals.
I have a 14 year old nephew who can't tell time on a grandfather clock because of this.

My kids pointed out that there was a mistake on the Roman Numeral clock I recently purchased... four I's instead of "IV". I hadn't even noticed.

When I was a kid we had a clock with Roman Numerals and the rest were digital. I never learned to tell time in school and I was probably 10 or 11 before my mom figured that out. I can tell time, but heaven forbid a stranger ask me what time it is! I get totally flustered.

There are only digital clocks at my son's school. But he was taught to read a real clock.
