[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I would get it from an English teacher, perhaps wanting to make kids hyper-conscious of verbal ticks and crutches and slang. My 7th grade teacher made us pay a quarter for using the slang of our local dialect (for which I thank her every time I think of it), because until we recognized we were doing it, we couldn't stop and give a decent oral presentation. You don't want kids saying it during a speech, but if it is such a habit that saying without even thinking or being aware of it, such a rule helps them become conscious of those habits of speech that are informal. So, odd that it is the math teacher, but I can see it serving a legit purpose.[/quote]
