what about high school math/science? would kids be taught in Metric
measurements? Would most young people know how big a metre, or a kilogram
is?





Of course they are exposed to it - a meter is a little more than a yard, a
kilometer is about half a mile and a liter is about a quart. That's about
all they remember unless they got into a science that required it or had a
teacher who loved to instill metric.
