Metric System

Education

Teach and convert to the system that the rest of the world, scientists, engineers, and even you half the time, use for everything.

There is no reason, especially when the US imports most products, to continue to use the Imperial system of measurements. (Yes, including the “we tried that before”)

We buy gallons of milk and liters of soda, plywood is now sold in fractions like 15/64" instead of the old 1/4". Even common core math would be easier if you were taught with a system that uses 1, 10, 100, 1000 instead of some random numbers like 5280 feet per mile.

If you know how to count money (dollars & cents), you already know the metric system (base-ten).

But can we keep the dot (.) as the decimal separator and the comma (,) as the thousands separator? European number formats are weird.
