Building on Selim Tlili's answer, every student is different. Fortunately most of us are similar enough for a single teacher to use a single lesson plan and teach a bunch of us at one time. But there are differences in what each student learns from a presentation. So lots of additional time is needed for the teacher to answer questions, to test what tech student has learned, to correct errors, and to re-present material to someone who missed it the first time. This is time intensive. It takes even more time per student when we include students that are further from the norms that the standard lesson plans were developed for - students who are developmentally challenged, poor students, undernourished students - all kinds of students who don't share the 'standard' cultural supports for education. Turnaround projects are successful because they deal with these problems. Most provide special training, to help teachers adjust their teaching methods to their particular group of students. This is usually supported by recruiting highly motivated, and especially flexible teachers.
