ATKINSON'S HIRING AT FAULK SPARKS FACEBOOK OUTRAGE, FALLOUT

(Editor's Note: Even though the hiring of Charlie Atkinson, a former City of Brownsville commissioner and brother of Brownsville Independent School Districts Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Sylvia Atkinson, is a done deal, the fallout from his hiring has sparked a vigorous debate in local cyber circles. Below is a sampling of the vitriol unleashed when local internet commenters learned of the news.)


"I don't know if you heard about it, but I've had a few teacher candidates call me up today infuriated that Charlie Atkinson got hired at full coach pay and has a year to get his teaching certificate. They are pretty upset because they are certified, have been in the application pool for sometime, and he snuck right in..." Local Attorney

"The controversial hiring of former city commissioner Charlie Atkinson by the Brownsville Independent School District may very well doom some of the trustees should they seek reelection..."

"Tell you what. The great likelyhood is that Charlie's mouth, which he can't keep his foot out of, will put him in a bind in a week. There's more to teaching than showing up." Stan Raines.

"get ready to vote the current Board OUT!!! we need to find candidates that are willing to truly serve the community;" Brownsville Cheezmeh.

"... now a days any one who gets a job somewhere has nothing to do with ur aplications its having friends in high places...well family members in high places...i've put in so many applications everywhere having 12 years experience in a state job and i cant even get a job at stripes...no manchen...this is b.s." Ma. E. Salinas.

"Can parents of students at Faulk request that he not instruct their kids?" Ro Garcia. Which was quickly answered: "Ro yes they can. Actually bisd is mandated to send a letter home to all parents whose children are being taught by a teacher who does not meet the definition of highly qualified. At that point the parent can request their children out. I'm sure the placement at Faulk was strategic. Faulk parents are less likely to know this than say parents of students at Stillman." Norma Castillo.

"So Is he qualified or not... does he or doesn't he hold a standard certificate to teach PE?! Just wondering..." Patricia Rios.

"Not certified. check website for educator certificates. Google "sbec record of educator certificates" it is public information." Norma Castillo.

"Wow!!! That is not fair...& it's wrong!!! So he was hired on a probationary certificate" Patricia Rios.

"I don't know if it's probationary or emergency certificate. What I do know is that schools normally only hire ppl w/ those certificates only when there is a shortage of certified teachers" Norma Castillo.

"Norma u r correct...Its called a probationary certificate when you are pending certification in the meantime that you get completely certified!!! I ended up doing my internship @ a private school @ 50% of the salary BISD teachers earn to obtain my standard bilingual certification since i was told by BISD that they only choose fully certified teachers...im now fully certified, unemployed & still waiting!!! Must be nice to have relatives in town & in politics w pull... Lol.." Patricia Rios.

Wow, it is very apparent that someone did not tell the truth to the board. He was listed as certified to teach. Sounds like someone messed up BIG!!!

Let's see, the Brownsville Cheezmeh supported Zeke Silva convicted felon. Chisme then supportedPan Am owner Robert Hendricks which will soon be a convicted felon for child porn, Linda Castro-convicted felon for forging WIC applications and theft, her brother Erasmo Castro-convicted felon for fraud. Hmmm, rebel raisers who can't even vote. Oh well, teachers are smarter than the bola de meirda which is the Brownsville Chisme. Give it up because nobody is following this group of low lifes. And thank you for giving us Tetreau who fits into that group's character . LOSERS

you all shout and complain, but did you all complain when Colunga was hiring his wife, when Zayas's friend were benefiting from his position, when cortes was bringing his relatives from out of state to get a job a BISD?

Puro Pedo y si ni siquiera salen a votar.

How many other hirings in BISD have been based on nepotism??? We will never know. Charlie Atkinson is a DICK....and now he is "teaching". We can expect a flock of DICKs from Faulk. A reminder, Eddie Lucio was a PE instructor at Faulk before running for office. Will Charlie seek to follow the path of Eddie Sucio. Both have very small footprints...and you know what that means.

Don't worry folks! This problem is just temporary! Does anybody think he will ever pass his excet exam for certification? I think not!

Charlie Atkinson's wife worked at Cromack as Counselor under Carmelita Rodriguez.

Carmelita now works at Main office in charge of Classified possibly earning more?

Sylvia Akinson, Carmelita and Maricela Zarate host luncheon at Paredes Elementary.

Carmelita, her brother in law and his wife all working together at Cromack a while back when Ayala was Admin for Porter cluster.

Hmmmmm........

The ugly sister is jealous of the pretty sister and always putting her down because it makes her feel good when all her chimosa cheerleaders rah-rah-rah for her on facebook.
Oh how I love my sisters and brother.
Well Charlie's brothers and sisters love him too-----FOR REAL--NOT JUST ON FB!!!!!!
He will make a great coach because he is a passionate person and he will inspire our youth.

Anon, you are talking about Linda Castro's jealousy over her sister Melissa Castro. You hit the nail on the coffin. Linda is a used up whore nothing like her sister Melissa who promotes good for the city. LInda is Bizarro and Melissa is Superwoman and Erasmo and LInda can not stand it. They are at the bottom of the gene pool and will recruit dumb asses like themselves to follow them.

WHO?

Are you seriously saying Mrs. Ayala had something to do with this? Seriously? She was reassigned because she had the audacity to write up Karin Trevino, rwmember she is Rick Zayas's cousin, while she was principal at Sharp...then Karin was moved to Cummimgs & Sandra Cortez, Ruben Cortez's wife, was made principal at Sharp...& how has that worked out?
