      They stopped teaching it in schools around TX a long time ago. High Schoolers nowadays were shocked when I said that reading clocks was a 1st grade skill because they weren’t taught to tell time.

        Schools I’ve worked at have all had analog clocks for all their time pieces, unless a particular teacher brought their own. Or the clocks on computers, but those weren’t always consistently reliable.

          I remember that it was like that when I was in school, but have only come across 5 or so analog clocks in schools over the last 10 years. They even have digital clocks in the hallways. I’ve also not been inside elementary schools, so idk if analog clocks are still present there.

        My kids are in school in Texas, and have 100% brought home analog clock worksheets.

          Interesting, I’ve worked in several districts around the state and in the last decade haven’t come across students that can tell time from an analog clock.
