nah, its still not taught in school. we learn what it is and why its better but thats about it. so most of the general public has no idea how high 171cm is, or their own weight in kg. though our cars have both mph and km/h on the speedometer.
i've been trying to learn metric units for awhile now. i can for the most part freely convert speed, distance, weight, height and temperature between the two. but most of it is still relative to me, as im not quite sure what the metric measurement is until its converted into american units.
