Hmmm... This gives me an idea. Why don't we (the USMA and supporters) band together to provide a meter stick to every public school classroom in America for National Metric Week 2004 (elementary, middle, and high school)?
Here are 4 good reasons: 1) The price at that volume should be relatively reasonable (single sticks are $1.99, and I bet we could get a big discount from the manufacturer); 2) It would be a positive way to support public schools, providing a practical classroom resource, at no cost to them; 3) It would encourage the teaching of the metric system all across the country; 4) It should generate large-scale posititive media attention during National Metric Week. What do you think?
