    Analogue clocks are a great example of kids having to understand a concept and apply it. And it’s simple enough that anyone can learn it.

    I often see examples where children are required to memorize a set solution, instead of showing understanding and reaching the solutions themselves.

    These clocks are somewhat dated, but removing them just feels like another symptom of a failing educational system.
