    I’ve had the opposite experience. I learn many things I don’t use because knowing them makes me see and think things differently and expands my mind.

    Absolutely do learn things you don’t think you need. Everything will be useful eventually in life. I’ve proved that to myself many times.

      Very true but in the case of clocks it’s a bit of a stretch. Though, it will be useful if the child wants to do modular arithmetic one day.
