Answer to Question 1

By the 1920s, educators had introduced the core curriculum: courses such as mathematics, social sciences, natural sciences, and English. This core is reflected in the contemporary back to basics movement, which calls for teaching the three R's and enforcing stricter discipline in schools. Today, schools attempt to meet the needs of industrial and postindustrial society by teaching a wide diversity of students a myriad of topics, including history and science, computer skills, how to balance a checkbook, and how to avoid contracting AIDS. According to sociologists, many functions performed by other social institutions in the past are now under the auspices of the public schools. For example, full-day kindergarten and extended-day programs for school-age children are provided by any U.S. school districts because of the growing number of working parents who need high quality, affordable care for their children.
