Kids won’t stop chanting “6-7” in school, and teachers are done playing along
Teachers across the U.S. have reached their breaking point with a baffling new chant echoing through classrooms as kids call out, “Six-seven!” The Gen Alpha inside joke has snowballed throughout the year, becoming a daily disruption and leaving educators scrambling for creative ways to stop it.
The numbers “6-7” became a viral meme trend on TikTok in early February 2025 and have returned with a vengeance, turned into a nonsense chant by kids in school. Kids now shout it during lessons, in hallways, and even on field trips. For many educators, the chant’s meaning doesn’t matter. It’s the noise and constant interruptions that have pushed them to the limit.
“It’s just misogynistic”: Video comparing “girl dads” and “boy dads” has people pointing out how early gender bias starts
A viral video comparing “girl dads” to “boy dads” has reignited debate over the subtle ways sexism shapes parenting. In the sketch, men holding their daughters’ Barbies and makeup look on with envy at fathers tossing footballs or playing video games with their sons. This, combined with the “boy mom” phenomenon, had many discussing how early gender bias starts.
In the footage, men carrying baby girls and Barbie dolls, or sadly letting their daughters put makeup on them, gaze longingly at their fellow fathers carrying their sons’ PlayStations or soccer balls.
Trump rebukes “young lady” reporter questioning Argentina bailout as farmers rips his beef deal
Trump has been publicly mulling over the possibility of beginning to import beef from Argentina as a way to bring down prices at U.S. grocery stores. “If we buy some beef now—I’m not talking about that much—from Argentina, it would help Argentina, which we consider a very good country, a very good ally,” he said over the weekend.
No deal has officially been made as of yet, but even the idea of it is causing an uproar among farmers who already feel betrayed and misled by the allegedly “America First” president.
