[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Gen X kid and I remembered just after learning feet, inches, yards, etc. Jimmy Carter wanted schools to teach the metric system (which we probably should have switched to then) and teachers were like, okay, forget everything you just learned and let's do this instead. It just didn't stick. The only thing I can really remember is that a meter is about a yard. I do agree that having the U.S. as a holdout is just more evidence that our county is backward in many ways.[/quote]
