Mike, I'm afraid you're right. I don't believe they teach anything relative to time in school any longer... For that matter, I don't believe they teach much of anything worthwhile now-a-days.  I grew up with the 24 hour clock in my family and still keep time like that - even on my wristwatch. Amazing ignorance.

Best regards,
Marc
