Again, I can't believe how negative some commenters are about our local school district.
Let us appreciate the 170 years that Public Education has offered children and since the days of Coal Mines, sewing factories, and children being sold as sex slaves to the Victorian Age.
Our white male Christian and otherwise forefathers saw a future of changes in diversity and other changes including the right for women to vote. They designed this ingenious document to be altered, as they knew Freedom would mean different things in the future.
The changes are always met by white bigots and their oppressed wives. History repeats itself and Fox News makes a bundle off of spreading hate.
What does not change is how important Public  Education is to our human and civilized progression and how much is that worth?
It is worth a lot and you were not always here to see that either. 
In our 7 years at SVSD, we have been confronted with a lot of different teachers, none of whom deserve criticism or blame that I see as trending.
How ass-backward is it to blame teachers when junior is acting a fool and is held accountable? 
I would align that with the the bussing system with the same sentiment. I'm sorry Saucon does not roll out a red carpet, a couple of tissues, and pillows each time you fail to buck up and sit in your seat responsibly.
What are we as parents teaching our kids?  Are they completely not responsible or liable and accountable for anything because Unicorns did not bow to their presence each morning?
I must not discount that there is magic everyday at Saucon, in my experience, even the least-best matched for my kid teaches them a very important lesson.
We all have to deal with A-holes, everyday, sometimes for a long period of time, but we grow.
The recent controversy was about Dr. Fellin's decision not to warn us of recent school threat after the fact that the person was in custody.
One responder believes that our superintendent has fake documentation as she must have grown up with Obama on the Muslim side of the moon...
Others reveal mistrust, yet aren't there enough to know that it is not as easy as former years to get in. All systems could be improved, but let us not lead another generation into blame-placing and general lack of responsibility.
