LA: English

The 2011-2012 educational English curriculum year will cover the following chapters.


"If one cannot correctly form sentences, one cannot correctly form powerful sentences, and if one cannot form powerful life altering sentences then it's best not to say much at all.  For words are powerful tools and sharper than swords and the one who form those words more influentially wins the war."
