One prompt instructs the writer to drink a beer and then write about the taste. Another said, “Write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom.” It’s 1849, and you’re headed West along the Oregon Trail. Describe the safety features of your state-of-the-art covered wagon. In a prepared statement, Superintendent Phil Herman said the “inappropriate and offensive writing prompts” were part of a supplemental resource used in the high school senior-level College Credit Plus writing sections.

Parents need to continue to pressure school boards to actually educate students and call them out when they get things wrong, just as they’re doing in Hudson, Ohio, right now. Now, with Hudson’s mayor and other parents calling for the board to resign or face criminal charges, the Raeth family thinks this has all gone too far. Nor has it fazed other parents of kids in the class who she said have spoken out in defense of the book’s use on social media. The teacher is wonderful and it seems like the teacher is being vilified a little bit too, and accused of grooming,” said Erika Raeth. At a banquet in Kazakhstan, you are greeted as a guest of honor and served the traditional sheep’s eyeball. Respectfully, you decline. You are then offered the sheep’s tongue, instead. What’s your excuse this time?It might be a good idea if students write the story of their names. or the story of a scar in their body.

The book provided to students called: 642 Things To Write About” contained writing prompts that encouraged students to write about sex, drinking, and murder. BREAKING: Hudson mayor demands all school board members resign or face possible criminal charges over high school course material that he said a judge called "child pornography." Parents at the meeting said that these prompts are inappropriate for high school students. One parent said that he was “appalled” at the content and demanded cameras in the classrooms to allow parents to monitor what is being taught to their children. One parent called the prompts tantamount to “grooming.” Parents deserve choice, not a one-size-fits-all education system that includes B.S. material that doesn’t actually educate students. In its official capacity, the Board of Education will be ensuring that a thorough investigation and process review has taken place and will utilize the results of the investigation to determine any necessary actions to be taken.The book titled ‘642 Things to Write About’ contains writing prompts with topics some consider to be inappropriate for high school students. We’ve never heard of criminal charges [filed against a school board] for curriculum,” said Ralph Lusher, staff attorney with the Ohio School Boards Association.

And there is a huge push to fund “students instead of systems” and have your tax dollars follow your child rather than get dumped into the failing public school system. One of the biggest advocates of this is scholar Corey D’Angelis, the researcher at American Federation for Children. You can hear Corey talk about funding “students instead of systems” here. We were warned about there being some explicit material. And she just said, ‘Don't use the prompts.’ And so none of us did. We all ignored it,” said Raeth.You have a dream that you’ve murdered someone. Who is it, how and why did the murder happen, and what happens afterward? The book was used for years in the school’s College Credit Plus writing class, but was taken away from students Monday after parents and administrators became aware of some of the writing prompts inside. Brian Wilch, a high school Principal, said that the course is offered in association with Hiram College for college-level credit, but it is taught in the high school. Wilch said that the material wasn’t properly vetted for high school students. While emphasizing he is not familiar with the Hudson Board of Education’s process to approve curriculum, Lusher said school boards typically have a process where curriculum is reviewed by committees before it comes before the board for its approval. He said he believes it’s “unlikely that something would get to them that is of such moral turpitude that it would bring criminal charges.”

Even so, given recent concerns presented by parents of students in this course, the District collected the books and discontinued their use. The advice i give most and follow least is understanding the importance of time.When I am surrounded by my class mates , I start giving them a lecture on why should he /she utilize time but I think I hardly follow this myself .I do all sorts of planning and thinking but when it comes to execution I find myself lagging a way behind what I’ve set out to do. Hopefully I’ll improve on it.
