Teachers Are Banning "6 7" From Their Classrooms

And here's what they are doing.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One oh six seven Light FM Kubby and Christine in
the morning, I said six seven, very bluntly on purpose.
Did because we're still.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Trying to figure out our nerves.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, six seven. Are there any teachers out there that
can help us here? Please give us a text at
four four three six three h Maybe Miss Chris is
tuned in. That's Naomi's kindergarten teacher. I don't know if
she listens, but uh, miss Chris, uh, maybe you're dealing
with this. Is it kindergarten level or is he?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Is it tire?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's like the tweens and teens?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So what is six to seven?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, we've talked about this on air. I thought it
meant it's it's something they are saying, and I thought
it meant like Midland, like mid you know, like meth
it's six seven, But it apparently means nothing.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Right, and they do a hand motion like this six
six or yeah, they lift their hands up and down
six to seven. I don't know what it means.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I because I remember talking about it with you, Christine,
maybe a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, and I acted like, okay,
now I get it, But I drove home going you
know that conversation we had. I really don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I think we're trying to make sense of it, but
we can't. And apparently, now that we're back in school,
it's driving some teachers crazy. There's a teacher from Michigan
who posted uh saying, I've been teaching for twenty years.
I've dealt with all sorts of slang. Nothing has driven
me crazier than this one. So to combat it, she

(01:24):
requires students to write a sixty seven word essay every
time they say it.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Ooh, that'll shut them down.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Then we've got a teacher in New Jersey who said
every time her students yell out six seven and it
interrupts the class, their homework is to write I will
not say six to seven in class six to seven times,
repeat offenders have to write it sixty seven times. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
See, if we knew what it meant, we wouldn't be
frustrated and we wouldn't be making you do things kids
if you told us what it really is.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay, So we're getting texts thank you four four three
sixty three teacher here, this is hilarious. I'm glad and
I am banning it from my classroom. That's from a
nine one seven nine oh eight says it's from an
interview with a basketball player. He was asked how totally
was and he said, I don't know six seven Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Okay, how are like? How are kids using it in
a sentence? Can you give me an example? Kristen, no, like,
how is it coming up?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Honestly is saying they just yell it out.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
But this is what I don't understand because nine one
seven says it's from a song.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Right, so see, nobody knows. They all have their guesses,
but no one really really knows.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Oh my gosh, nine one seven. Do you know how
difficult it is to be a music teacher? And say
five six seven eight multiple times a day? And here's
six seven giggles every time I say that.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I never thought of that. Yeah, uh, well, keep text
and maybe we'll figure this out. Four four three six three.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
And they are confirming what Kristen's telling us nine seven
three that the hand gestures go with it makes them
even crazier.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Are we just not cool?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
We're totally not cool to be?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Okay, we don't play to be I mean we got
to get on this, all right

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Need some guidance, Yeah, sure do
