I was taught metric basically alongside imperial. I remember a depiction of a ruler with inches and centimeters in my first grade math book. In high school, I would go outside in the morning and build a house in inches, then I'd go inside and do chemistry labs in milligrams.

In flight school...some of this I'd like to wring some necks over...altitude and runway length is given in feet, temperature in centigrade, humidity as dewpoint in centigrade, pressures in inches of mercury, visibility in statute miles, overland distance in nautical miles, speed in knots, weight in pounds, gasoline volume in gallons. Oh, gasoline is sold by the gallon, jet-A is sold by the pound.
