Flora High School Afshan Syed (435) Heyward Career Center Jeanette Wallulis (436) Dreher High School Linda Williams (437) Dreher High School 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.
