As for the boring part; hell no it wasn't. And a really huge bonus: hardly anyone was overweight. I get so sad looking at todays kids; many of them get winded from climbing up three flights of stairs

Re: Teens unable to read clocks
Abacus was used in first grade, of course... Calculators were forbidden through whole my schooling, except for physics classes in high school, just due to economical time handling... Hence, if you don't know the formula and theory behind, no use of calc...
Also, as you said, we all were slim and fit, playing outside for a whole day...

Re: Teens unable to read clocks
I hate to say this but:
- we, the people who look back and say it was better back in the day, are to blame of today's situation. At least about how our children play, live, etc.
- even the ancient Romans said the same about their "new" tendencies. So each period has its ups and downs.

Re: Teens unable to read clocks
Well that it probably true but it makes me feel old to admit it. The one consolation is that he looks at my old analogue watches and has started pestering me for a watch like them (so perhaps he will be forced to learn to tell the time after all).Emilio wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 2:26 am I hate to say this but:
