Description:

The document discusses the need for a specialized remediation program for Indian children in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who struggle with the academic transition due to their cultural and bilingual backgrounds. It proposes implementing a program similar to the Title VI Material and Educational Resource Center (MERC) to provide individualized curriculum and support for these children. The success of this program could lead to the establishment of similar programs statewide or nationally.
