Teachers are now installing digital devices after pupils sitting their GCSE and A-level exams complained that they were struggling to read the correct time on an analogue clock.
Absolute nonsense.
If a young person, especially at GCE and A-level age, can't tell the time from an analogue clock, they don't deserve to be even sitting the exams.
In fact, I sometimes find it appalling just how little young people know these days.
I'm sure it goes back to Tony B Liar's 'dumbing down' policy which, to be honest, was one of his more successful moves!
