I have said since 4th grade that they tried to teach the metric system here and got it all torqued up.
They taught conversions, lots of complicated numbers to try to remember. 25.4mm = 1inch, etc.
What they should have done and everybody would be using metric now is to supply the schools with metric rulers.
Then we would all see 100mm and know how long that is. Forever do away with any other system. Simple.
But I would still use dividers and stop blocks.
