The following blurb appeared in Purely Personal, a gossip and current events column written by Lisa Denley McNeece in the Calhoun County Journal (my hometown Bruce newspaper):
Timothy Parker, native of Bruce, is headed to China this week for a year of teaching.
Timothy, the son of Quincy and Martha Parker, has been teaching English at Corinth High School for the past few years.
He will be going to Beijing as part of the "English First" program where he will teach English as a Second Language.
Timothy said he will be teaching adults in a "total immersion" program. The students have had some exposure to the English language, but he will only speak English to them.
Timothy will be blogging about his experience on blogspot, and promises to keep us updated on teaching and life in Beijing, which is the site of the summer olympics this year.
Timothy is a graduate of Calhoun Academy.
