Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The back-to-basics movement focuses on ensuring that all students have a strong foundation in basic skills such as reading, writing, and math. This has led to improvements in the scores of the lowest level students who may have previously struggled with these skills. While the movement may also benefit gifted students or lead to greater diversity and understanding, these improvements are not necessarily direct results of the back-to-basics movement. The range of electives available to students may even be reduced in some cases as schools prioritize basic skill development. The back-to-basics movement focuses on teaching fundamental skills and concepts, which has been shown to improve the scores of the lowest level-students who may have been struggling with these basics. It does not necessarily have a direct impact on the performance of gifted students or the range of electives available, and may not have a significant impact on the ability of students from diverse backgrounds to get along. While it is possible that improved math instruction could lead to improved math abilities for all students, there is not enough information in the question to support choice A.
