Sounds like you just didn't understand. Each hour of the 12 on the clock takes up 30° of the circle, and we measure time in cycles of hours, minutes, seconds that all match up well with the 360° of a circle.

Cutting pizza would also teach kids a geometrical understanding of how circles work, I don't see how that translates at all to being innate to reading a clock. I know tons of people who can read a clock who suck at math. It seems like an incredibly weak assertion.

Making any excuse to not learn how analog clocks work is what's really a weak assertion. It's not that fucking hard.
