[demo 9]

Sitting in Italian class, learning how to tell times, and we are told to do a page with circle style clocks on them. (EX; they give you a clock, you write it is X o clock) Now, the clocks have no numbers on them. We are all working and a girl in the front of the class raises her hand to ask the teacher how she knows what time it is. (after about 10 minutes) The teacher is kind of caught off guard, and tells her the clocks are the same as the 1 on the wall. She informs the teacher that we cannot possibly do the assignment because they have no numbers on them, and we wont be able to know. Most of the class is laughing at this point, but the teacher tries again to let her know, the clocks are all the same, but she just cannot get it. Has you life been screwed by the digital clock?

I want to see what actually happened. The gif is too quick.

LOL...

Most kids born these days won't be able to write cursive either.

 

[w00dy]

The term "wait by the phone" is almost meaningless now.

 

[stoney]

it's truly sad...

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Sounds like more of a NJ related problem than anything.

When I was in elementary school, we were told that we would have to write everything in cursive from then on, or else our teachers would fail us.

In middle school we were told that if we wrote in cursive, they would fail us.

Then in high school I went to take the SAT, and you have to write the pledge in cursive. Sh!t. I think I made up half the letters.

No loss. Aside from my signature, I haven't written in cursive since elementary school.

LOL... I'm old.

Write in SAT's? Shoot... when I took the SAT's it was all just little bubbles.
Thank Gawd cuz then I would not have gotten even close to 1400!! My writing skillz are about as good as my spelling!!

I have experienced this. I set my phone to analog clock so that I do not have to deal with this. Depending on a digital clock sucks. You will feel like an idiot.

You are correct. ONLY people from New Jersey have trouble reading clocks. The rest of the world cannot seem to relate.

They don't even trust you to pump your own Gas. Yet they are OK with you driving? NJ is a rather confusing place...

its horrible, except diablo, and soon rays

All I know is I am going to sue someone over this. Ruined my life...

 

[eric strt6]

Cursive??? hell I'm 54 and I can't write cursive. If I tied I would have to remember how to make the letters and if I remember back to the parchment days my cursive was darn near illegible. Most girls had great penmanship, most guys had retarded chicken scratches for hand writing.

the girl on the clock test is the one everyone got drunk and laid

 

[Mattcz]

eleventeen oclock right?

 

[DirtMcGirk]

Its clear to me that in New Jersey they missed that it was time to abort Snooki and the rest of the cast of that god forsaken show. Maybe if they COULD read clocks we would have all been spared.

Your buddy is wise.

And dumb chicks are easier to trick.

 

[Serial Midget]

Must spread rep...

The dumb ones are also easier to persuade... "trick" sounds underhanded.

Rirruto?

 

[stoney]

What about those of us who learned cursive and write in block lettering? my writing is a chicken scratch hybrid.

As for clocks, if you didn't grow up using an analog why would you know how to read it? What really irks me though is when I describe something as 'at your 5' and the person blankly stares at me.

 

[Pesqueeb]

At the school where my wife teaches the Kindergartners learn cursive and that is all that is used for every grade on up. I don't think I could remember how if I had too.

 

[Dirtjumper999]

I'd say its time for education reform....

 

[mandown]

Cursive is just so damn useful. Better kids learn that than typing.

Mine was the same, but we had to write out the honor pledge.

 

[rockofullr]

Outdated crap is outdated? OH NOES!

 

[SandManConserva]

How is technology ruining YOUR life today?

 

[mandown]

I would have just written "peanut butter jelly" and "t shirt" all over the test pagE.

i actually never learned it in school, and i have no clue how to write in it.... i actually cant even read it sadly enough i know.

I have started printing as nobody could read my handwriting. I feel stupid now... Honestly I thought writing was a basic literacy skill like algebra or geometry. I was wrong....
