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.
I don't believe it's as emphasized in early education anymore. It's a digital age, and this generation has grown up on digital clocks. Eventually analog will become nonexistent. It's essentially the same as this generation not knowing how to read a sundial, I'm assuming.
