The US does not now, nor will it ever, use the metric system for common measurements. There are a number of reasons: don't want anything to do with 'European' ideas, too costly to convert, scientists can feel superior and any of a number of others.
But you're teaching kids. Why make it harder than it needs to be? The American system is feet, pounds and seconds. It's a crappy system but it's what we use.
