Why YSK because it can help you plan your trip and keep track of time, mileage and gas in you car.
According to Wikipedia, the national highway designation act “designated about 259,032 km of roads, including the Interstate Highway System, as the NHS, restoring $5.4 billion in funding to state highway departments, giving Congress the power to prioritize highway system projects, repealing all federal speed limit controls, and prohibits the federal government from requiring states to use federal-aid highway funds to convert existing signs or purchase new signs with metric units.” Prohibiting national use of the metric system on highways in the USA is just not right for the Americans that are supporting metrication. Currently, it is up to the states’ decision to use metric signage on their own highways. A petition has been created to repeal the no-metric part of the national highway designation act, link at http://chng.it/c9kTcRvc (shortened link). I recommend you sign it to allow national use of the metric system on highways in the USA.
Apologies if the question is worded awkwardly.
I was thinking today, there are a few peculiarities to driving on a major highway like I-95 which aren't present when driving on smaller roads. Like, using entrance and exit ramps, driving at prolonged high speeds, and continuing relatively straight for long periods of time. I would assume that American drivers, before the construction of these highways, were not accustomed to driving in this way.
For example, not having to make an actual turn for hours on end would probably be strange to someone when the highways were first built, and I'm guessing that there were drivers who could have fallen asleep or something because of a lack of stimulus.
Are there any documentations of Americans having to relearn their driving habits, or adjust how driving was taught in response to a newly built highway system?
For the record I wish I was in this system.
Grades K-4 are the same everyone is in the same institutions. After which time your performance is tested and your overall grades or test scores put you into one of 3 school systems.
Hauptschule or Basic school- which continues till 9th or 10th grade and then graduates them. Its for people who performed under satisfactory in Reading/German (English) and or Math.
Realschule or Satisfactory secondary education This goes beyond what they teach in tier 1 and people are finished at 11th grade and graduated. This is for people who performed satisfactory in both Reading and Math.
Gymnasium or Advanced These are for students who performed Proficient in both Reading and Math and they go through the full 12 years and have a chance to get into University and beyond.
The reason I would have prefered this is I would have been in Tier 1 due to being almost illiterate (couldn't read or spell for shit) until 8th grade, would have been finished at 9th or 10th and been able to start working without attempting college and failing and not wasting years I didn't need to.
Why I think this is the best system is because it puts children schools teaching at their level. The top students get the education they can handle without being board as the teacher slows down for the rest. Those in the middle get taught at their pace those as the bottom are taught their pace.
The percentages of who make which are about 55% tier 1 34% tier 2 and 11% tier 3.
I feel like I should know this answer because I am an educator, but my county has a weird set of numbers for each school district that seems to have no rhyme or reason. What makes things even weirder is the fact that I have friends teaching in different school districts across the state with the same number as my own.
