<< When I was in grade school (in the mid '70s),
 the metric system was drilled into me over

 simply wouldn't be feet or gallons or pounds
 or hours and stuff anymore.  It would all be
 metric.  If I'm not mistaken, 1980 is just
 around the corner...we better get crackin'!

The government started before that. When I taught elementary school in 64 we
were instructed to teach metric and there was a five year plan, I believe.
