Teacher hits out at ‘6,7’ trend that is getting ‘kids kicked out of classes’
There’s a new trend on the block and it’s led to a teacher calling it out for causing disruption in the classroom.
Over the decades, pop culture and social media has begun to be brought into the school environment.
From the Harlem Shake to teachers recording themselves like it’s an episode of The Office, memes will meme. But apparently, things have gone too far.
There’s a new phrase that’s been doing teachers' heads in, and they’ve had enough.

It’s the numbers, six and seven.
While you might be thankful students aren’t calling out 420, considering it’s around the age teenagers giggle over new terms they find online - or lyrics they hear - it’s taking a new turn.
Six-Seven has been haunting classrooms, and for Kaitlyn Biernacki, enough is enough.
The American elementary school teacher shared a clip of her issue to TikTok, and other teachers have agreed that the number has gotten out of hand.
According to the interweb, the term comes from the ‘Doot Doot’ song by Skrilla, which constantly bats on about ‘six-seven’ in his lyrics.
Like this: “6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (bip, bip).”
Or this: “6-7, I just bipped right on the highway (damn).”
What does it mean? Seemingly, nothing, but for students, it’s too catchy not to repeat.
The teacher’s video showed just how disruptive it is, with the clip of her drawing a graph and asking a simple question garnering some laughs.
When she asked ‘how many votes a cheetah’ got, some kids shouted out the number six, which led to others giggling and shouting out ‘six-seven’.
Biernacki shot them a look that breathed ‘tired’ and over it.
Another teacher did the same thing, and explained how overstimulating it has become.
@mscollaketeaches uploaded a meme of JoJo’s infamous ‘Leave (Get Out)’ banger, with an image of an annoyed person in the clip.
Over the picture, the text reads: “Teachers hearing “6’7″ for the 100000 time after a long day of overstimulation.”
She then captioned it: “No seriously I’m gonna start kicking people out.”
To be honest, teachers have had it hard right now, with one even apologising for ripping into kids so hard she got backlash.
Hannah Maria went viral after sharing her post with over 2,000 followers.
In her video, she discussed how technology was 'ruining education', as she continued to say: "These kids don't know how to read. Because they've had things read to them, or they can just click a button and have something read out loud.”
Damn.
