The Father's Plea

This letter written by the father was very heart warming. If i was the father i would have been so angry with the teacher but instead of yelling at the teacher he just simply was asking why the teacher thinks his son is slow and shared all the good things about his son. This is a complicated situation though because the boy is so young and coming from a completely different culture than all of the other students. He wants to fit in but he also doesn't want to change himself so it is pretty much an impossible task. It saddened me that he cut his hair to try and fit in but he had a lot of pressure on him. The teacher also could've helped more to make his situation better. The teacher could've taught the class about wind wolf's culture so they better understand why he is the way he is. Just because he is from a different culture and has had a different up-bringing doesn't make him a slow learner, just different.
