select one.
o true
o false

as the number of one-parent families and families in which both parents work outside the home has increased dramatically, the number of children in daycare and preschool programs has also grown rapidly. this, combined with the increasing amount of time that students spend in educational settings, means that the importance of schools as agents of socialization has increased.
select one:
o true
o false

Explanation:

• First Question: The conflict perspective emphasizes social inequality. Susan's statement about differences in school experiences based on social class, racial - ethnic background, and gender highlights inequality, which is in line with the conflict perspective. Mathew's statement is more related to the functionalist perspective (about the functions of schools in society like selection and placement). Firoz's statement is related to the interactionist perspective (focusing on daily interactions). Diane's statement is also more in line with the functionalist perspective (cultural transmission for social responsibility).
• Second Question: Ethnomethodologists study the methods people use to make sense of social interactions. They assume that interaction is based on shared expectancies (tacit understandings) that people use to interpret and carry out social actions.
• Third Question: With more parents working outside the home (either one - parent or two - parent families where both work), children spend more time in daycare, preschool, and other educational settings. As a result, schools (including these early - childhood educational institutions) play a more significant role in socializing children, so the statement is true.

Answer:

• First Question: a. Susan, who states that school experiences of students differ on the basis of their social class, their racial - ethnic background, and their gender
• Second Question: True
• Third Question: True
