What a statement Mr. Scott makes in the most recent issue of the Clifton Record! James Scott, soon to be former 2007/2008 Superintendent of the Cranfills Gap School District, says about his resignation that he thinks "harm" and "revenge" played a part in the current problems of the Cranfills Gap school.
I believe "harm" and "revenge" did play a part in the current woes of the Gap school; however, Mr. Scott--like so many others in Cranfills Gap-- fails to mention that the "harm" and "revenge" were done in 2007 by former Superintendent Carla Sigler.
Apparently, Mr. Scott thinks that "harm" and "revenge" did not play any part in what happened to 2007 Valedictorian Kaitlan Head, who just happens to be my niece.
Apparently, Mr. Scott thinks that "harm" and "revenge" are now playing a part in the current troubles.
Apparently, Mr. Scott does not believe that actions have consequences.
Apparently Mr. Scott does not believe that one should be held accountable for one's actions.
Apparently, Mr. Scott --like many others in Cranfills Gap--does not believe that the actions of Carla Sigler played any part in the current woes of the Gap school.
Apparently, Mr. Scott--like many others--won't even mention Carla Sigler's name or assign her any blame when talking about the current controversy and the serious rift and bitter division in the school and the community.
Apparently, Mr. Scott--like many others--won't admit that low enrollment is what may close the Gap school. The only person responsible for low enrollment is Carla Sigler.
All those students that left did not leave because of the "harm" and "revenge" Carla Sigler did to Kaitlan Head to hurt Sue Lee. Though what Carla Sigler did to Kaitlan Head for "harm" and "revenge" was shameful and despicable, all those students had left before that happened. All those students were already gone the way of the wind when Carla Sigler decided to get "revenge" on Sue Lee by "harm" to Kaitlan Head. Those students did not leave because of Kaitlan Head or Sue Lee. Those students left because of Carla Sigler, never to return.
Accountability is not the same as "harm" and "revenge". I believe God will get you for actions of "harm" and "revenge". Apparently-- and thankfully--God is doing a fine job of holding those accountable that need to be held accountable for their actions of "harm" and "revenge", so that no one has to resort to "harm" and "revenge" as Carla Sigler did.
Thank you, Lord!

Maybe I misunderstood--I thought you admired James Scott.
I do. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views.
All disagreements we might have aside I have a question for you....is all of this because you want what is right and best for your niece?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views. If you don't likw what I write, don't read it.
No, seriously. Is that why you continue all this? Is it truly because you want what is best for her? I completely understand that if it is.
Ok, so here's the thing. First of all, after you read this I would delete it if I were you. And if I knew how to contact you privately I would instead of on here. But if you are really worried about your niece and you really want to help her, I think you should really stop concentrating on what happened in her past and help her out in her current situation. She's not in a good place in life and I think that if she had the support and backing from people she knows care about her she could get out of it and truly have a wonderful life. I'm not friends with her, but I do know her, and this is a small area. People know things about one another's lives and those of us who know her, whether we are considered friends or not, are worried about her and the things she's having to endure. I hope you as her family can help her out of that.
Thank you for your concern. Why do you think she is not in a good place in life? She should be ready to start her second year of college, but she's not. Life took a diffferent path for her. Everyone has assured me she is okay, including you.
My concern for your niece has nothing to do with her education. It has to do with her personal life, as it has been an unhealthy one for many years. I was once in an abusive relationship myself and know how hard it can be to get out of. I know that she currently is living with a guy (I will not call him a man) who uses illegal drugs and is physically abusive to her. I don't believe that anyone deserves to live that way, but sometimes once you've been in that situation it's hard to see that you can and should get out of it. I really do hope that you as her family can help her before it's to late. It's a hard thing to do, as those in that kind of relationship are usuall also in denial for a long time (I know I was) so if you should decide to step in to help her I wish you much luck.
Glad to read your posting about no longer posting about the Gap school. It really will help things.
Also sorry to read the bit about the snake. Any story about a snake is never a good one.

There was nothing "unhealthy" about my niece Kaitlan's life until Carla Sigler tried to destroy her. I lay the blame at Carla Sigler's feet for many things, especially for purposely trying to destroy Kaitlan, which in most people's book is quite despicable. Anything bad after May 10th, 2007, in Kaitlan's life can be traced directly or indirectly to Carla Sigler, who wished to harm Kaitlan. I did not say I would not write about Carla Sigler. Carla Sigler has nothing to do with the school now. Carla Sigler will never be "off limits" for me. I can tell about Carla Sigler without once mentioning where she did her dirty deeds or naming others' names. As long as there is "niceness", I will continue to do so. I would not worry too much about Kaitlan. She can take care of herself. I would bet you have enough to worry about in your own life. Either you are really trying to help someone you admit is not a friend, and if so--thanks for your sincere concern--or you are just trying to cause more trouble. Time will tell. Kaitlan did say she had seen you, too, but you and she did not speak. Again, thanks for your concern.
Is there a reason you posted your comment twice?
After re-reading my comment, I apologize if I seem dismissive or insensitive. If you know for a fact and can prove it, that anyone uses illegal drugs, they should be arrested and dealt with under the law. Having worked seven years at the DePaul Center on the front desk, I know that drug abuse can destroy your life and actually take your life. Thks again for your concern.
Fed-up: I think I should take everything you say with a grain of salt, as Kaitlan also said you consider Carla Sigler "family"...which was something I already knew. Thus you would never be a friend of mine or Kaitlan's, so I have to consider the source and your reasons for saying things when you say things are such and such a way. Too bad. You come across as a pretty decent person.
Oh, did she see me? I thought I saw her pass the barn at the fair but was unsure as she passed by, like you said, without speaking to the kids and me. It's understandable as we were very busy with the animals.
I have no interest in causing problems and I would not lie about something like that. People can be concerned about others whether or not they consider them to be a friend as you have shown with your concern about the kids at CGISD.
I agree with you about those who use drugs, as I'm sure most people do.
As you have said, everyone is intitled to their own oppinions. Whether you choose to believe what I say or not is your decission. Given our history on here, I don't blame you a bit. I might say the same thing if you tried to help me in some way. I just wanted to give a heads up. As I said, I don't believe anyone deserves to live that way, and all to often they do without many people knowing and/or helping (as I did all those years ago). If you worked at DePaul I'm sure you probably have come across those sorts of relationships at some point or another.
Didn't mean to post the comment twice. I clicked the save button twice by accident.
I'm sure you would agree, it's definately been an interesting ride being in contact with you.
Have a great summer.
Good-bye.
The Gap kids will be okay, no matter what happens. Interesting doesn't begin to describe this past year! Interesting and Revealing! Goodbye for now---until we meet again!
