sounds like a teacher is trying to be clever. With a quick google I found the following

apart from cushion and fashion, there is hushion, a rather unusual Scots dialect word for a footless stocking (a sort of leg-warmer).

A rather better-known Scots word is fushion, meaning `spirit, energy, gumption' or (in referring to food) `wholesomeness'.

Neither word is in standard use outside Scotland.

The complete Oxford English Dictionary also lists the word parishion meaning the same as `parishioner' (a member or inhabitant of a parish). However, this word died out in the 16th century without ever settling into a consistent spelling.

Umm, I'm wondering if the lad misheard or misunderstood as mission, fision etc etc all sound as if they all end in shion. If he did get it right then he'll get top marks as I think you've found the only ones in common usage:)

Im afraid MarzipanQ is right!! There are no others in the english language!! You sure your son didnt mean ...sion??? If so then there are millions.

1. hushion: "a rather unusual Scots dialect word for a footless stocking (leg warmer)"
2. fushion: "better known Scots word meaning 'spirit, energy,gumption (or in referr. to food; wholesomeness)"
*neither word is standard outside Scotland*
