from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don

The Best Paragraph I've Read:"The name of this fall’s most obnoxious classmate: SixSeven. Math teacher Cara Bearden braces herself for any equation that yields the two numbers, knowing her students will immediately scream them right back at her. “SIX Sevennnnnn,” they squeal with a palms-up, seesaw handgesture that looks somewhere between juggling and melon handling. The meme is ripping across the internet and spilling into real life, especially at school. “If you’re like, ‘Hey, you need to do questions six, seven,’ they just immediately start yelling, ‘Six Seven!’” says Bearden, who teaches sixth- and eighth-graders at Austin Peace Academy in Austin, Texas.“It’s like throwing catnip at cats.” Now teachers avoid breaking kids into groups of six or seven, or asking them to turn to page 67, or instructing them to take six or seven minutes for a task. Six is a perfect number, and seven is a prime number, but only a glutton for punishment would put them together in front of a bunch of 13-year-olds."This paragraph comes from the Wall Street Journal. The article is titled: "The Numbers Six and Seven Are Making Life Hell for Math Teachers." The article is written by Ellen Gamerman."
