I've had one who couldn't read clocks. A few who do not know how many seconds in a minute/how many minutes in an hour/how many hours in a day. Imagine having to keep a straight face and pretend like that's a normal and acceptable gap in knowledge. I say kids but they're in high school. And don't worry, I don't do english, I'm aware of my horrible grammar on this forum.
You'd be shocked how many kids in middle school don't understand the analog clock.
I was, I'm not anymore. But why is that? I blame it on the parents, it's something you learn at home, no? I don't remember when I learned to read the clock. But I know I could read a calendar by age 4, one of my earliest memory.
