My teacher said it wasn't metric tons and that grams were mass. Please help me!

Newton is the metric for weight. The relationship between Newton and Killogram (mass metric) is
1 Newton = g * 1 Kilogram.
Where g = 9.8 Newton/Kilogram!

Your Teacher was not exactly correct.
Kilograms or grams are used as a weight measure as well as mass. (in our one g environment)
Dynes or Newton is the force measure, as in foot/pounds vs newton/meter.

Newtons I think.
Weight is really the force produced by gravity acting on your mass, that is weight is synonomous with mass.

Grammes and Kilogrammes? Metric is anything divisable by 10, isn't it?
