642 Things to Write About: (Guided Journal, Creative Writing, Writing Prompt Journal)

Product Information

The Mayor called the book titled: 642 Things To Write About, which was given to students “child pornography.” Having not seen the book that was used in the writing class at Hudson High School, Lusher said he wouldn’t want to judge whether the material “would cross a line or not.”

Mayor Craig Shubert spoke up at the meeting and gave the 5-member School Board an ultimatum — resign or be charged. 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.” The Raeths are also concerned about the teacher who oversees the writing course at Hudson High School. Write the ad for an expensive new drug that improves bad posture. Now, list the possible side effects. 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.Raeth said her teacher only used the book a few times a week to help students get creative with their writing at the beginning of classes and they never used any of the more explicit prompts. It’s 1849, and you’re headed West along the Oregon Trail. Describe the safety features of your state-of-the-art covered wagon. It is a college-level course and kids need to have a certain level of maturity to handle that. And I think parents also need to have a certain level of maturity to let their children handle that because once you get to college, you're not involved in their curriculum,” said Raeth.

The Raeth family plans to attend the next school board meeting and share their perspective about the book being used in class. Parents deserve choice, not a one-size-fits-all education system that includes B.S. material that doesn’t actually educate students. 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?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.” My second wish would be..give me so much money that I became a bank itself to lend money to poor and improve the world to be peaceful We did not exercise due diligence when we reviewed this resource, and as a result, we overlooked several writing prompts among the 642 that are not appropriate for our high school audience,” said Wilch. “…We feel terrible. At no time were any of these inappropriate prompts selected or discussed, but still, they were there, and they were viewable, and you can’t unsee them.” This was exactly what I thought and tried to do now that I am old. Unfortunately, New Zealand will not accept old people (anyone over 50!)because the country does not want to be responsible for the cost of an aging population. With socialized medicine, aging immigrants would be a burden on their society.

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. It wasn’t a normal Board of Education meeting on Monday night in Hudson, Ohio. The entire Schol Board is on the hot seat after parents were horrified at the material given to students in a writing class. If you were given one extra hour today and you weren’t allowed to use it for anything you’d normally do (e.g.; eat, sleep, etc.), what would you do with that hour? It's not something my other child ever mentioned because it was such a non-issue, non-part of the class,” said Raeth. 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.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.”

The district immediately determined this writing resource should not be in the hands of our students, and on Monday, collected the books from the students enrolled in the course,” Herman said. “It is important to note that at no time were any of these inappropriate writing prompts assigned as part of the class.” I've heard mention of, like, 'We shouldn't offer these classes at all.' So then then they're taking away an opportunity for these children to have college credit," 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? Raeth has another daughter, Anja, who currently takes the CCP writing course at Hudson High School. If there’s one positive that can be attributed to the pandemic school closures, it’s that the “virtual learning” allowed parents to see what exactly was being taught to their kids. Public school enrollment dropped during the pandemic, and homeschooling has increased dramatically despite remaining a steady 3.3% of students since 2012. The teacher is wonderful and it seems like the teacher is being vilified a little bit too, and accused of grooming,” said Erika Raeth.
