I believe that one of the reasons for poor scores made by U.S. students in international tests lies in the fact that
they do not have the advantage of being able to calculate in the metric system, which is much simpler and easier
to use. Students from countries in which the metric system is the standard do well on such tests. Research
studies in the 1970s found that six to eighteen months of elementary arithmetic could be virtually eliminated
from educational curriculums by the simple adoption of the metric system. What the Nation is doing is
recycling the problem by not making metric training a rigorous part of the teacher education curriculum. This
means if a new teacher is not knowledgeable of the metric system they will not teach it. We hope to improve
this with our efforts and with your help.
