While I agree it is strange, I cannot ever seeing this be a problem. I have never meet someone that has ever had an issue understanding how a clock works. Maybe you were taught late?

I was taught reading clocks very early, in a mixed digital/analog setting, with the digital clocks using 24h format starting at 00:00, and nobody using am/pm. You should know that "12am" is not "how a clock works" universally, just one way of reading it.
