Metric Conversion Act [Passed]

[Sensei]

Well, this is how the rest of the world does it. Why not us?


I would like to add a clause though,

4. Starting in the 2008-2009 Atlasian public school year, all Atlasian public elementary schools shall teach both imperial and metric measurements, starting in Kindergarten. The end of Imperial unit education shall coincide with the phasing-out of said units.

I think that's already included by implication in Clause 1, though I don't object to adding it for clarity. Although I'd rather remove the "starting the Kindergarten" clause and simply have it stand as a whole. Of course, I don't recall anyone ever mentioning "feet" or "degrees Fahrenheit" in Kindergarten, nor do I think dual teaching is the right way to go: it would just confuse little kids who don't understand things like decimals.

ok on removing "starting in Kindergarten". But, I do believe that dual teaching needs to be done because the schoolchildren can't just know one or the other.

[Sensei]

aye, i think it's good to clarify Section 1.

[Sensei]

ouch... this isn't going to end well.

[Sensei]

aye

[Sensei]

Nay

Gay ass bill.

I'm unaware of the bill's sexual orientation, so I will withhold comment.

[Sensei]

in celebration, I will drink a kiloliter of beer.

That's quite a death wish you've got there.

By the way, that's a pretty cool Sonic Youth reference, Lewis.
