There are 8 million things holding American students back, this is just another thing to add to the pile tbh. If important people cared they’d do something about it, but they don’t even care if kids can eat, so…

On a personal level, “science calculations” are just a separate, usually academic thing. They stay in the domain of scientific calculations. If you want a more intuitive feel for the result, you can just convert to imperial units at the end (like meters per second to miles per hour or whatever). Otherwise they’re just used for other scientific calculations, so not a huge deal
