Answer 1

Answer:

D. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take that into account when teaching him

Explanation:

In "Lake's letter: An Indian Father's Plea," we learn about Wind-Wolf. He is an Indian kid who struggles at school. His father decides to send this letter to motivate the teachers and the school to take into account the child's culture when teaching him. He argues that their teaching methods often have a bias towards children who are not Indian, and his child ends up feeling as if he was not intelligent, not realizing that the teaching method is simply not addressing his needs.
