first

YES! It's that easy

second

I would prefer a digital clock but I can read analogue clocks

It's quite easy once you learn but for younger children it might be a bit tricky.

I think that there should be digital clocks because then you don't waste time in exams

I find it easier to read the time on a traditional clock than on a digital clock.

is it that hard to to tell the time on an analogue clock? I still can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eeeeeezsssssssssszzzzyyyyyyyyy

Children, especially in secondary schools, should be able to tell the time on an analogue clock. It also would not be fair that people had to tell the time on a traditional clock in past exams.

yes!

Time is a crucial thing to learn. If people dont know how to tell the time when they reach 18, they will find it very difficult to be on time. Everyone uses smart phones but i have to make sure i can tell the time every day. Its an important skill and its silly to simplify things, we need to learn.

I think that, when doing exams and things you should have learned clocks at the age of 6 so I'm wondering why anyone is struggling and it should be easy (because it is for me) so even thinking about analogue disappearing sound strange to me.

YES I can but it's taken me a bit of time to learn!?

I agree that traditional clocks are important to know how to read but I also think that in our modern world we have so many more important issues to worry about. Also analogue clocks are soooo much easier to read!

Most people should know how to tell the time because it is a life skill!!!

I think that we shouldn’t replace traditional clocks with new ones as this is a perfect example of technology taking over are lives and we nod to know the time on analog clocks to for tests

I can tell the time on a traditional clock but only if I am awake!

Yes, of course. All the clocks at our school are traditional - why not just teach students how to read them/tell the time? ⌚️

Yes and schools should keep analogue clocks because kids need to learn

I think this is a good idea because eventhough i can tell the time on a traditional clock, it may waste time durimg the exam

I think this is a good idea because eventhough i can tell the time on a traditional clock, it may waste time during the exam.

I can read the time on a traditional clock however I think that it would help many children in their exams if digital clocks were used as some people can't read the time on older types of clocks . So my final conclusion to this poll is that we should have a mix so that we can keep some things that were used in the past in our lives today. But also digital clocks as they are easier for some people to read.

.

In a test if you misread a clock and assume you have 1 hot and ten mins instead of just 10 mins, just because you can’t read the time you will not to well in the test

Hour*

I can, but some people probably can't because digital clocks are more common than traditional clocks now. I find it very useful to know and I think everyone should be taught this skill.

yeah! its not too tricky!

I find it easier

I can,I learned when I was in year two. I still find it easier to read on a digital clock.But I defiantly think its handy and that if you can't read a analogue clock you should learn quickly

I think that if you can’t tell the time on an analogue clock, you should not be taking your gcse’s. I understand that the pressure might unable you to do this task but schools needn’t be spending money on buying digital clocks.

I can read times on traditional clocks but there are people in my class that can’t so I think they would be better

second

I think they should because students should be able to tell the time on and analogue clock anyway, and it's good practice for when they're doing the tests.

I can but honestly I don't mind whether or not they switch to digital because I don't really get how they'd help pupils in exams but either way it's fine by me.

OF Course if there are numbers and markings

It's easy to tell the time on a traditional clock— you just need to know your 5-times-tables.?

First of all

I look good in this shirt

Second of all

I look good in this shirt

And third of all

I look good in this shirt

So tell me I don't look good in this shirt

I can tell the time - we have all been taught in my school and I don't struggle

They should teach both in school analogue is much harder for some people

I can very easily tell the time on an analogue clock but almost every day, someone comes up to me in class and asks me what time it is, they are in year six as well. I think it is very important and if people think it waists time In an exam then they should learn how to read a clock better????

⌚

I can read a an analogue clock and I think reading them a better challenge for younger kids.

I find traditional clocks easier to read

I think that there should be analogue clocks in school even if some people can't tell time. This is because it's a school they should be taught to use analogue clocks. Therefore the clocks will help them!

Schools should teach more childeren time in KEY STAGE 1

I can tell the time on an analogue clock, but I would prefer a digital clock in my classroom, as it is easier to understand, and is more precise. Also, it would hopefully help younger children to tell the time whilst they are at school.

Even though I can read analogue clocks (as long as they have 123... rather than I, II, III... or no numbers at all) I would find it easier to read from a digital clock. However, because there is split opinion on this, there should be both digital and analogue clocks in exams to reduce exam stress for everyone, rather than just digital-preferring or analogue-preferring people.

Yes i can because in our kitchen we have one of those clocks, and my Nanny and grand-dad do to!!!!

Yes! but I know some people how find it hard.

I can read it.

I learnt in Year 1

Yes, although digital ones are easier to use.

Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most people can tell the time on both digital and analogue clocks but with the kids and other people in the world that can’t tell the time on an analogue clock, it would be easier for children to read the time of a digital clock

WHO IN THE ENTIRE WORLD CANNOT READ A TRADITIONAL CLOCK!?

I think it's stupid to have digital clocks in exams because at one stage you've got to be able too tell the time and by then you should already know so I really don't want digital clocks

Yes, I learnt it when I was really young. I like digital watches more, but analog clocks more!

I can, but loads of people I know can't (I'm yr 8)

It is so easy

I can read an analogue clock but I find the numbers method of the digital clock much less complicated.

Analogue clocks are generally clearer than digital because you can see clearly how far through the hour you are. I've also found that they don't break so easily - I am a champion at wrecking watches!

no I'm only a year 2 kid!

Who can't tell the time on an analogue clock?! ?
(No offence, reader, if you can't)

In my opinion, teachers, or just people in general, shouldn't replace analogue clocks with digital clocks. They can be nostalgic and I HATE? the fact that technology is taking over! (Cos I'm weird)

Also, PUPILS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO READ THESE CLOCKS!!! ?

In short, DON'T replace analogue clocks..... ? Please

It’s easy to tell the time on a traditional clock because I’ve learned how to tell the time at school.

Of course I can. I have known since year 3. And, I’m in year5

In my class we have got both.

Yes but digital clocks might be easier for exams

if you just pander to the things they don't know and should know by making it so they never have to learn them, that's not setting them up well for the future at all. Most children can tell the time on an analogue clock by the time they're in secondary anyway.

its toooooooooooooooooooooooo hard

YES. Although I find digital easier.

YES. Although I find digital easier..

I prefer analogue ?

Telling the time on an analogue clock is an important skills. In exams, you are always shown an analogue clock. Note: an analogue clock is a traditional clock.

Although digital is easier...I have a digital watch...

I am still learning but I know the basic things about analogue.

We have Roman numeral clocks at home and two digital clocks in the bedrooms of my Mum+ dad
