I'm now in seventh grade at a regular public school, and I really do appreciate my parents taking the time to enroll me there. I must say, I didn't appreciate AXL while I was there; I felt as if I was Kristina Amirchiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037013389246810067.post-18226367469701530722010-12-16T13:30:56.475-08:002010-12-16T13:30:56.475-08:00Well, I just came across this article so I know I&...Well, I just came across this article so I know I'm late - but I have to say, I LOVE AXL!

I must say a name packs more punch than an anonymous comment. I think it is a good idea to have multiple perspectives on any issue, but I won't publish any more comments that have nothing new to add.
