There is a reason. When you grow up with people around you using imperial units to describe things, you think in terms of it. If you tell me 10 ft., I can picture that in my head, I have an idea of how much that is in real terms. If you tell me 10m, I have no mental idea of how much that is, even if I can convert it. It’s like a language you grow up speaking, versus one you learn later in life.

I do think metric the sole system used in schools, to be honest.

I highly recommend the show “What We Do in the Shadows.” It sort of covers this

Crazy how it looks like there’s even conduit in place to route the cables in the wall, but they just didn’t even bother.

And what of people that live out in the country, far from a city? Not walkable or bikeable. Building public transport there is not viable. Cars with sustainable fuel sources are the far better solution.

Now mainstream country is pro-establishment and “subtly” racist. Crazy how it’s gone backwards in time.

I always thought the no hats rule was really stupid. The teachers enforcing the rule was more distracting from the lesson than someone wearing a hat.
