Agree 100%, except the 6-7 thing. That's a passing fad that will be gone very soon. It would probably be already over, but adults have found out about it, so it is being extended a bit by its notoriety, but that will fade soon, too.
First of all, the 6-7 thing is almost entirely for the under 10 yo set. Anyone older than that is pretty much as exasperated by it as adults. That's because the primary motivation for it seems to be to simply annoy adults.
And that's sort of a new phenomenon. Its no secret that young Americans know their futures are seriously fucked, and they are blaming their older fellow citizens, as they should. But this 6-7 tormenting of adults seems to indicate that the resentment toward adults is growing even among our youngest children.
As they grow, and their justifiable resentment increases, they will spawn a large demographic segment that will be very susceptible to nefarious propaganda.
6-7 isn't gone yet, my 6 and 8 year olds still giggle about it. The school banned it though, which may have extended its longevity.
Yeah, it's getting it's last bit of life out of the explanations for it, which is the kiss of death. 6-7 will go the way of Skibidy, and something equally annoying will arise.
