Overview

• Schools report lessons derailed by a call‑and‑response where hearing six prompts a shouted seven with a juggling hand motion.
• Educators are imposing consequences that include 67‑word essays, the loss of 67 behavior points, and writing lines for repeat offenders.
• Some teachers have rewritten lessons to avoid saying six or seven, with one maths teacher calling even counting to ten a challenge.
• Others are co‑opting the chant to refocus classes, though the trend remains most common in primary and early‑secondary years and is often led by boys.
• The fad traces to Skrilla’s 2024 track Doot Doot (6 7) and spread through TikTok and sports edits tied to LaMelo Ball and “The 67 Kid.”
