How can you teach science and not use SI units? A real fine group of

Well, the British schools did it for several centuries. Of course, they
also schlepped everything around using horse-drawn wagons.

Now that we're well into the 19th century, the time has long since
passed to start using modern conviences like a measurement system that
makes sense.

As an excercise in frustration everyone should be forced to do a few
basic physics problems using pounds, slugs, poundals, pound-feet. ..etc.

Be sure to state the results in furlongs per fortnight.
