Nowadays, analog clocks are not seen very often. I also saw my students sometimes not understanding analog clocks even though my students are at the elementary level. However, the current education system is such that students only learn to leave school and not for their own skills or knowledge.
My daughter got her first smart phone this year, because we were forced due to the change in her school. However, her life is still very much analogue. Kids need to learn basic skills, before they are given options for shortcuts.
