1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Remember when you were in school and you didn't like 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: your class, and you kept looking up at the clock 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: to see, Okay, we got eighteen more minutes of English. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Oh yes, eighteen more minutes of Okay, now it's down 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: to six minutes, and then it's two, and you'd look 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: at the analog clock. But they're taking them down because 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: kids don't know how to read an analog clock. 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: They're taking them just all the way down. 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: That's the rumor, huh that I saw on Instagram in 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: the form of a meme. Now, I don't know whether 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: it's true, but if you're a teacher, you certainly do 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: know whether it's true. I'm going to guess it's probably 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: not true, Yeah, because it's just kind of ridiculous. I 14 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: think the kids. Do kids still learn how to tell time? 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: I assume so. 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 3: Granted I don't have a kid, but I'm in high 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 3: schools like every weekend for speech team stuff, and there's 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: analog clocks in every single room. 19 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: Oh yay, you call my dad, he's a math feacher. Okay, 20 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: well we can call your dad. 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 3: Man. 22 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: While we're waiting on answers on this one, here's your 23 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: chance to win the ultimate ticket.

Would do this every thirty minutes on KDWB. 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: So I believe that they are. I don't know for 33 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: a fact when people text it. 34 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: But I also said a couple of weeks ago they 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: don't do textbooks anymore. Everything is on the chromebooks, so 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: they look online and I think COVID is a big 37 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: part of that. And I don't think they use lockers anymore. 38 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 2: I think they're in schools, but they don't use them much. 39 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: I guess I. 40 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: Don't know about It's so weird to me about the 41 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: clock thing, because I picture a clock in my brain 42 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: if I look and see, like, Okay, I'm going to 43 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: a movie. It starts at seven, and the movie I 44 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: know is an hour and forty five minutes. I will 45 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: picture an analog clock in my head, okay, and I'll 46 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: go okay, seven plus an hour, eight plus forty five minutes, 47 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: so eight forty five plus probably fifteen minutes of trailers. 48 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: I'll get out at nine and I do it. 49 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: Raise in your head, okay, not me. Yeah, I do 50 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: math instead. You do math and I do Yeah, but 51 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: I do the same thing. It's like, Okay, the movie 52 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: starts at two thirty, it's ninety minutes long. There's twenty 53 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: minutes of previews. They just kind of added up, and 54 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: I'm usually wrong. Yeah, okay, I'm out of there by 55 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: eight pm, right, Like, wait a second, two? So do 56 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: they still have analog clocks in schools. We're getting some 57 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: text messages already. Here's one that says from a teacher. 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm a second grade teacher in Minnesota. I still have 59 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: an analog clock in my classroom, says this text. It's 60 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: required for me to teach telling time analog and digital. 61 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: Another text right behind that says fake news. Time is 62 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: a math standard. So they're still teaching young kids how 63 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: to read a clock. But this text says true kids 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: cannot read an analog clock. I use my department's money 65 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: to buy a digital clock because I was sick of 66 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: hearing kids ask me what time it was. I saw 67 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: this now that I think about, it wasn't a meme. 68 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: It was somebody walking up to kids that were like 69 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: high school age, like you know, fifteen years old or whatever, 70 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: and saying, can you tell what time it is? And 71 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: it would say two thirty and they would be like 72 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: three twenty because they didn't know which was the minute hand, 73 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: which was the about the hour hand? 74 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: M I WoT well, somebody else said, texted and saying 75 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: telling time standards start in first grade in Minnesota, but 76 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: not that way in all states. We have higher standards 77 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: than most states. 78 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, Okay, Jen is on the phone. She 79 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: has a first grader. 80 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: Okay, we talked to Jen. Jen. Do they still teach 81 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: telling time and have analog clocks in classrooms? 82 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: They do. My daughter's in Firtrade goes to the Minnetaka 83 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: School District and they even make like play clocks out 84 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: of paper with little finger hands that rotate around and 85 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: it's part of her homework group. 86 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, we did too, and in that grade, it's like, okay, 87 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: they give you a little worksheet with clocks on it 88 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: and in times and then the easy ones were like 89 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: one o'clock, yeah, two o'clock, four o'clock, and then it 90 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: got to like, you know, seven eighteen's like oh oh, three. 91 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: I remember is thank you. The shorthand is hour, and 92 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: hour is a shorter word than the word minute, so 93 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: minute is the long hand hours the shorthand. 94 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: To remember it. There's a bunch of text messages. I'm 95 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: a high school math teacher in Wisconsin. They don't know 96 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: how to read clocks, but we still have them. Our 97 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: school still uses lockers. However, most kids jam their lockers 98 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: for easier opening. Another one says it's true. I'm a para. 99 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: We have high school kids help our pre skate pre 100 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: K classroom that needed to leave at ten fifty. She 101 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: didn't never phone on her, so she had to have 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: the teacher tell her when to leave. 103 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: Oh geez. 104 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: Another one, I'm a middle school administrator, and kids definitely 105 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: do not know how to read an analog clock. But 106 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: my district is way too poor to actually take the 107 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: clocks down and change them out. Hah Okay, well. 108 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 3: You know what, maybe this has been an enlightening moment 109 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: for every parent who is listening. Maybe do a little 110 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: fun activity with clocks at home this week. 111 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: But let's be reasonable. Is it necessary to learn to 112 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: read a clock anymore? 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: I think so. 114 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's a good practical piece of information or knowledge, 115 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: But is it necessary. When's the last time you really 116 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: needed to tell time and there wasn't a digital clock available? 117 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: Sure, but I think it's more practical to learn how 118 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: to tell time on an analog clock than it is 119 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: to write a letter or cursive these other things that 120 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: we talk about that they're not teaching school anymore. 121 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: I just think there's a clock in every single room 122 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: that you go into. It may be a digital clock, great, 123 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: then you're going to see exactly what the time is, 124 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: but it's also maybe an analog clock. And that's You 125 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 3: could go to the courthouse and there's an analog clock 126 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: on the wall. Yes, you might have your phone, but like, 127 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: what if you just don't have your phone, or your 128 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: phone's in the bottom of your bag or something, and 129 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 3: you look up and you see a clock. You should 130 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: just know how to read that clock. You could go 131 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: to the library, you could go to a classroom, you 132 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: could go anywhere. There's gonna be an analog clock somewhere. 133 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: It's so interesting because there's still I'm in like the 134 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: home decor sections at Target every time I go, just 135 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 3: because I gotta swing by, and they still sell plenty 136 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: of analog clocks in that area. 137 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: That's true, because a decorative clock. You're never going to 138 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: hang a decorative digital clock in your house. 139 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: That's not aesthetic. 140 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: No. No, there's a bunch of responses on this one. 141 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who say that kids cannot 142 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: read a regular clock. Here's one they might teach it 143 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: in first grade and second grade and very little. My 144 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: kids can't tell time and they're fourteen and twelve. 145 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: And that's one says kids don't remember learning it from 146 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: elementary school, so the high schoolers don't know. 147 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a I don't remember the instantaneous 148 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: thing for most adults and probably most kids to look 149 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: at a clock and instantly say it is seven thirteen 150 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: in the morning. I mean, that's easy for most of 151 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: We had to take a break. We're talking a minute 152 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: ago about whether schools still have an analog clock, because 153 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: I saw a meme that's like they're taking analog clocks 154 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: out of classrooms in schools, and somebody said, no, they're 155 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: still there. But then We're getting a whole bunch of 156 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: back and forth about whether kids can read an analog clock, 157 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: and here is basically there's both ways. Here's when the 158 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: text that says, my kids are six and nine and 159 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: they pretty much have the clock down. Another one said, 160 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm a thirty five year old woman. I won't lie. 161 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: I never really learned to read an analog clock. I 162 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: mean I could stumble through it. As long as I 163 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: have an idea of the time of the day, I 164 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: can get it right. But somebody else said, to kind 165 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: of go with Dave's point on analog clocks, is it 166 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: really necessary? Not Really do adults currently know how to 167 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: read a sun dial? I'll bet the same debate was 168 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: came around when analog clocks came out. I'm gonna get 169 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: a sun dial there in the classroom. 170 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: What I was gonna say, I'm going to show you 171 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: how young I am. What is a sun dial? 172 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: A sun dial is basically, it is a disc that 173 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: sits flat outside in the sun and the sun will 174 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: shine on it and the shadow points to the time. 175 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like if I spent take a 176 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: twenty minute sit me down with a sun dial teaching 177 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: me how to use it. I'll know how to read 178 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: a sun dial for the rest of my life. Yeah, 179 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: but I just haven't been taught taught how to use that. 180 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: Well, you probably don't have a lot of Sun dials 181 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: that you have to rely on yet. So thanks for 182 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: all the text on that one. We appreciate a lot 183 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: of people were definitely had an opinion on that one. 184 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: It is time now for we got somebody on the phone. Yeah, 185 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: we do. 186 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: So. 187 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: My dad's a math teacher and my stepmom was an 188 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: elementary school teacher. She's still in education. So I got 189 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: another verdict, mister Lee. 190 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Mister Leek is on the phone.

So, uh, mister leeke Vaunt's father. Let 195 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: me ask you a couple of questions. We're talking about 196 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: school because we're big into education here in Minnesota, huge 197 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: and so I know they teach things in New Jersey 198 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: like I guess in New Jersey. Is it true, mister Leake, 199 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: that if you can read most of the letters on 200 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: your gearshift knob, you graduate from high school. 201 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: That is true. 202 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: That is true. So do they still do they still 203 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: teach time Spaun's dad. 204 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 5: And elementary school they teach to the hour, the half 205 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 5: an hour, and sometime the quarter hour, but they don't 206 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: teach to the minute. 207 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? 208 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 5: Well, in my class, I teach a seventh grade elective class, right, 209 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 5: and in middle school we don't allow phones, so they 210 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 5: put them in pouches, so the kids all day would 211 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 5: ask what time do we leave? The time is it? 212 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 5: So I teach them how to tell time, and all 213 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 5: of the math teachers in elementary we do teach them 214 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 5: justfore they know what time it is. We have an 215 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 5: analog clock still in the room, and we also have 216 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 5: the old pencil sharpeners where it's hanging up you have 217 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 5: to like turn it, so I tell them what that 218 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 5: is also, But yeah, we teach it there just so 219 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 5: they know what time it is because they're not allowed 220 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 5: to have their phones out. 221 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: That's smart because then you don't have to answer the 222 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 3: question every single time. 223 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Well true, but wait, let's go back to the pencil 224 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: shark the wall. That was one of the joys. For 225 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: some reason, there was a satisfaction of putting your pencil 226 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: in yes, and then blowing the shavings off of your pencil. 227 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: They still have those. 228 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 5: Absolutely, And we also I still have like the TV 229 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 5: the maybe like the thirteen is TV that's hanging on 230 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 5: the wall that we used to go crazy about because 231 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 5: a TV was in a classroom. It don't work, however, 232 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 5: we use prometheum boards. But I still have nostalgia in 233 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 5: my room, not a little nostalgia. 234 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: And it's for you, not for any of the kids. 235 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: I'll be like, what's that? 236 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: Do kids still learn curses? 237 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 5: No? Curses is out the window. No, he teaches cursive 238 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 5: at all. 239 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: Really, that's so interesting. What about addressing an envelope? Because 240 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: I think we had your son try to address an 241 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: envelope and he didn't know where to put the stand. 242 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: He put the stamp on the back to write it 243 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: addressed the inside of the flap. He put the addressed 244 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: for the return address was on the inside of the flap. 245 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: So do kids still know how to address an envelope? 246 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 5: Before I answer that, first, I'm sorry. I have to 247 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 5: do better as a father. 248 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: It's not Tom. 249 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 5: They really don't know. They don't They don't know how 250 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 5: to read a math it's a lot of things they 251 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 5: don't do anymore. Like I'll try to show my kids 252 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 5: certain things because I teach maths and we do grabs, 253 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 5: so I do show them with a math they have 254 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 5: no idea. 255 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: Well, in their defense, I rely on GPS for everything, 256 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 3: Like I came about as a driver when, like map 257 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: quest was a thing like starting to be and so 258 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: if I didn't have those, I don't know if I 259 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: would know how to get anywhere. 260 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: Well, let's be honest, I mean, reading a map is 261 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: kind of an archaic ability because who really needs I 262 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: haven't looked at a map except just for fun in years. 263 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: Nobody navigates by a map anymore because you've got it 264 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: on your phone. 265 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I also told you guys, I don't know 266 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: how a compass works at all. I don't know if 267 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: that's even more outdated than a map or GPS. It's 268 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: not outdated, it's just more archaic. 269 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: It's a thing that precedes time. 270 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: It's a skill, it's a hobby. The boy Scouts do it. 271 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: They learn orienteering not because they need to, but because 272 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: it's kind of a fun thing to do, Like geocachhing, 273 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: do you really need to find the peanut butter jar 274 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: with a troll ball inside of it. No you don't. 275 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: That's fine, but it's fun, mister league. Thank you sir 276 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: for for being on the show today.
