Metric interstate divides Arizonans + Question for native AZs
Author Summary
metrication is in Arizona
Post Body

I came across this article while doing some research for /r/metric (we promote the metric system in the US, UK, etc.). I was a little impressed given the state of the rest of the country in regards to the metric system - Kudos to you Arizonans.

Anyway, I also have a question for Redditors who grew up in Arizona. Were you taught the metric system in school and if you were, when were you taught it (grade level and year)? This question might be a be a bit odd, but I'd love to know!

Most states, schools and education groups have overwhelmingly endorsed and encouraged that the metric system be taught in school ... but in practice, it's a major flop. Most people learn it in school and then revert back to imperial. Is that somewhat different in Arizona? Do people use it and embrace it more than the rest of the United States?
