Why Some Schools Are Banning '6-7' Slang Craze

As someone who is currently working in a public school, I can attest to the fact that the kids are indeed saying "6-7" all the time now.  We adults find the constant repetition of "6-7" to be annoying, but the kids don't seem to be tired of it yet.

The strange thing about "6-7" is (according to the kids themselves) it doesn't mean anything, it's just something that's cool to yell out.

Every time I hear a kid yell out "6-7", I'm reminded of what I wrote last February:

In the course of researching all of this, however, the thought occurred to me: the kids are always yelling out something.

Now, granted I've been outside of the United States for most of the past 24 years, but I've been teaching kids in Japan, Cambodia and Vietnam, and in all these countries, I've noticed that there's always some slogan or catchphrase that the kids are constantly yelling out.

Verily, I have never spoken truer words.
