    No no, I wasn’t trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter

    Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches

      A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

        I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don’t think he had a yardstick, this wasn’t a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.
