I love clocks.

I always have loved clocks.

And I like to be where I can see a clock at all times.

I used to wear them all the time.

Now, many educators, according to this story, have observed that students, particularly those under intense pressure during timed examination, struggle to quickly interpret the positions of the hour and minute hands on an analog face.

Yeah, it's tough.

You can't figure something like that out.
