Analog clocks are like cursive, there isn't any real world benefit so it seems like we should spend that effort on one of the many other things that schools could teach.

As if they teach us how to read those clocks anyways

I lied about knowing how to read these until high school, then I was too embarrassed to ask, so I learned how to read them.

It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.

But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...

As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree

What benefit does analog bring over digital other than nostalgia?
Once is objectively faster to read granularly, by the minute
