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. | https://www.quora.com/Why-do-most-education-turnaround-projects-in-low-performing-schools-fail |

Besides, getting to know the usage of a language, and relaxing your mind with a story, a novel also gives you a different perspective to delve into, an author's to be specific. We live our lives with a single perspective, often not exposed to how other people are thinking. Well, we definitely come across people who pass judgments about us, but that does not guarantee that we imbibe their perspective, we merely listen to an opinion. Novels are not merely opinions, they contain lives of other people, who may or may not be in a situation we are or have been in.

Too many senseless events happen in the real world: children die of starvation at the very gates of the wealthy, innocent and admirable people perish in natural disasters, wars that destroy young lives and entire countries are waged for the pettiest of reasons. A novelist, whether realistic or fantastic, extrapolates meaning onto his or her envisioned world. Sometimes the good guy wins. The sick child recovers. The impoverished orphan has a secret fortune. Even when the ultimate theme is meaninglessness and futility, the novelist reveals the inherent strength in a character, the machinations of history in everyday affairs, the possibility that society is capable of change. Thomas Hardy's overriding theme is that the universe is malevolent or at best indifferent to the affairs of man.

Why do people use Amazon over other online retailers?
Content: With that, the core fundaments of the consumer model remain unchanged. ( Deliver desirable product to customers complimented by a unique and compelling experience at an attractive price). If you step away and think about the deeper motivations in shopping, ecommerce solves for accessibility, delivery, and to some degree experience but lacks the immediacy and experiential elements such as feel, touch, physical appearance, or trial. As ecommerce evolves, it is filling in some of the gaps in terms of enhanced photography, video, customer interaction, and is quickly solving immediacy with the emergence of same day delivery solutions like Shutl.com - (Delivery when you want it ). While this continues to evolve, there will always be a need for the experiential elements of shopping. Perhaps you could liken it to a more core fundamental human need to still interact and engage with the physical world while the digital interaction side of life becomes more important. Said differently, if a majority of people shop online, why do they still go to a shopping center? What does all of this mean in the context of the business model? I suspect that online retailing could penetrate upwards of 25% on the horizon (compared to single digits today), which will impact the amount, location, and size of physical stores. Perhaps this imply's significant change but it isn't going to kill the model. | https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-use-Amazon-over-other-online-retailers |

Why do poets use imagery?
Content: Think about how you can create atmosphere and mood through use of words to convey sensory details. Think carefully about your choice of verbs and what such use might suggest to the reader. Think about how the usage will influence their feelings. Ultimately, the imagery you use should contribute to the overall idea or the point you wish to make. It should reflect your desire. Imagery is created using figurative or non-explicit language. Effectively, that is the invocation of a sensory reaction through the use of words. Imagery is achieved using various figures of speech or devices, such as simile, metaphor, synecdoche, personification, and onomatopoeia. Often, a good metaphorical image can convey, in a single line of poetry, more than whole paragraphs of reasoned argument. In that way, imagery is more about intuition than discursive explanation. | https://www.quora.com/Why-do-poets-use-imagery |

A style in which someone can pick up a sample of their writing without their name on it and yet you still know that this piece was written by a particular writer. If everyone was using the same simple language, everything would sound the same. This is another little peeve of mine in which people regard what is popular or should be considered "good". It isn't a secret that everyone is different, everyone either based on their personal background, their experiences, or just their quirky tastes will respond to some things more than others. | https://www.quora.com/Why-do-so-many-writers-use-words-that-might-be-difficult-for-some-readers-Why-wouldnt-you-want-a-more-simple-message-that-could-target-a-broader-audience |

Content: A song we both can bob our heads slightly too, know a few words of the lyrics we can sing at once, a song that can be made into a social interaction. And it is the social interaction build into the experience of the song that cause people to like it more than just by itself. Neither of us love the popular song as much as our personal favorites but it will do when we can't listen to our favorite song. Things that are popular are things that people can socially bond over, and things that people can socially bond over are things that are made for a broader audience. Whether it be books, music, movies or TV shows, things that are easily digested to a mass audience and not necessarily speaking to specific experiences or people, in a way not really seeking to be loved, only liked, by most people. So for a book to be purposely simplified and written for a broader audience, someone can't write that an really expect their work to be absolutely loved by many, it can be liked and enjoyed by more people, but if the person wants their work to find those few people to resonate with them, the writer needs to sacrifice the broad public appeal. But for things that are public consumption, and not necessarily for enjoyment, for information, should be presented in language that most people can understand. Promoted by Grammarly

Content: The irony is that slave labor and immigrant labor performed the hard labor that built much of the infrastructure and manufacturing capability in the US. After slavery, free African Americans and immigrants from China, Ireland, Italy, and EasternEuropean countries provided a work force that was willing to work hard to improve their lives and the lives of their children. Of course, they were exploited and socially excluded. However, it was not all negative because most of immigrants succeeded in carving out a place in the US economy and society, and their children and grandchildren are a rich part of US culture, education, politics, and government. The same thing is taking place with the Hispanic immigrants today. The legality or illegality of their status is not really the issue. Their presence is the issue. They are experiencing the same treatment as the legal immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s experienced. As two of my grandparents emigrated from Poland, one emigrated from Slovenia, and one was a first generation American whose parents emigrated from Slovenia, I have a good idea of what they experienced, and have studied the topic extensively.

Content: Though, many Japanese traditional sushi still uses seaweed outside of the rolls due to many reasons. With uramaki, ingredients inside the roll does not stay together well as it does not have stickiness of the rice, vinegar rice gets dried out easily and nori seaweed getting soaked with the moisture of rice, loosing it’s crispness. Moreover, when tried to eat the roll, rice will stick to your finger and get messy. Since the first popular sushi in US were California roll and spread through the nation, uramaki got citizenship in American sushi. Weston O'Connor

Originally Answered: Why do sushi rolls in US put seaweed inside of rice? Well I work as a sushi shef, using "half cut nori" which is to say that 8 or so inch peice of nori you might find in the asian isle, cut in half. Nori is a pretty expensive engredient, and not too pleasing to most americans, atleast from what I can find in common lore. You can only fit a certain amoutn of items inside of a 4 inch sheet of pliable seeweed.... so when you are adding multiple ingredients, you switch to seeweed on the inside, so you dont have to also put the rice on the inside, taking up more space. | https://www.quora.com/Why-do-sushi-rolls-put-seaweed-inside-of-rice-in-the-US |

Shouldn't we first address the assumption in this question that teachers are paid "so little", and ask what constitutes, "so little"? From the numbers I've seen, the average, annual teacher salary (K-12) in the U.S. is in the $42K area. Not a horrible number, in itself, when you consider the average U.S. salary on a whole is about $50.5K. I mean, $42 isn't exactly living-on-Ramen-noodles level, now is it?

Most chapters have no more than a few dozen members, and every chapter has at least one undercover FBI agent keeping tabs on the group.

Content: Nearly 70% of all European olive oils are falsely labeled. Usually they are labeled "extra virgin" but are not, and they are very often mostly hazelnut, peanut, or safflower oils with a drop of olive oil to give a hint of olive taste. Italians use a lot of olive oil and Italy doesn't actually produce enough olive oil to satisfy Italian demand. Even so, Italy is able to export way more oil than the country actually produces. This means that a huge amount of "Italian" olive oils are actually from other countries, most likely Eastern Europe where sanitation standards are appallingly low in most olive presses.

Inmates have little interest in being executed - It’s not as if people are lining up for executions. Death Row inmates will do everything that they can to prevent or delay their execution and they frequently do so. This stretches into years and often decades. Many inmates are mentally ill - Executing the mentally ill is technically a crime against humanity and many states are hesitant to do so. They are, however, willing to medicate such a person and get them “ready” to be executed when they get better. No one wants to execute an innocent person - While it almost certainly has occurred, no one wants to be the first one who the media “catches”. So the state actually works along with the defense to an extent to ensure that the defendant is indeed guilty before he or she is executed.

The second thing is a notice to appeal the case to the Alabama Criminal Court of Appeals within 42 days of the conviction.

Your appellate attorney will be provided with copies of the court record as well. Then your attorney has to review those materials and decide what issues are the basis for the appeal. Most likely we are covering another year to 18 months.

The reason death penalties are so expensive is because most defendants can not afford all of the attorneys so they have to be paid for by the state.

Collins (1993), the Supreme Court ruled that in the absence of other constitutional grounds, new evidence of innocence is no reason for federal court to order a new trial. Chief Justice William Rehnquist said for the 6-3 majority a Texas death row inmate "urges us to hold that this showing of innocence entitles him to relief in this federal habeas [constitutional review] proceeding. We hold that it does not." ____________

Several reasons: 1) It requires time : It is so much easier to see a 2 hour movie and get the same essence of the story than to read an entire book, which can take days. 2) It requires brains : It is far less intellectually challenging to see something in a movie than to understand and imagine what the author meant through words. 3) Ease of access : Books are just not that accessible. To see a movie or a TV show you just need to turn on your TV or your laptop whereas for a new book you usually need to buy it from (either from the store or amazon or wherever). | https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-people-read-books-anymore |

If so, that's because neither host society was amenable to the German people, their culture and/or their names. The USA, being an immigrant society, was unbelievably welcome to Germans who--by the third generation--typically considered themselves wholly American "of German ancestry" and nominally that to boot. World War One and World War Two only hastened the already inexorable muting of the large German identity in the US. It was happening long before that.

The smoldering embers of German heritage will remain smoldering within the American furnace for as long as there's a USA. The reason why it may seem like you see a lot of Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Hispanic and African influence in the USA is a combination of recent massive influx thereof and (in the case of Blacks) a recent revival of a long suppressed cultural heritage that many are now trying to assert in the tapestry of who the USA is. Two massive immigrant groups: Hispanic and Sub-Continentals (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) are the "big ones" recently. Asians -- on the whole -- for the first time in history were the largest regional immigrants, passing Hispanics in 2012.

Content: Historically, there’s more alignment with cowboys, the gold rush, Native Americans, and a frontier attitude than what might be common for more “mid-western” states and cities. I am not sure even Kansas City or Omaha would consider themselves historically a “frontier” city. Denver certainly has. Among such a frontier mentality people also tend to adopt a free-wheeling and pragmatic perspective on life and community. Even though there might be individual issues a “pioneer” might lean left or right on regarding the economy, healthcare, or education, the larger consensus view is likely a pragmatic one. If the original question equates “pragmatic” with “liberal”, well, I’d say that’s their perspective, and inconsistent with my experience. One last bit of perspective. In the 1990’s there was a lot of immigration to Colorado from Texas. Anyone in Colorado at that time can attest to the jokes about Texas license plates being found on the only cars in the ditch after a snowstorm. In the 2000’s, and even recently, there has been a lot of immigration from California. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Colorado-so-liberal-despite-being-in-the-midwest |

Kmart cannot afford to operate in states where they only have 1 or 2 stores, the store locations need to be in the right areas. It has to become more of a smaller regional chain, operating in places where stores like Target and Walmart don’t dominate if Kmart were to have any chance to survive.

Why is Portland, Oregon, so liberal?
Content: Intel and its many related businesses have a huge presence. The nature of this work attracts highly educated workers. There’s a strong correlation between between receiving a college education and liberal political leanings. Furthermore, many transplants to Portland are from neighboring California, specifically, the liberal cities in the Bay Area. It’s had groundbreaking, rockstar politicians. There is a legacy of progressive thinking by the politicians of Oregon. In around 1913, Governor Oswald West declared public ownership of the entire Pacific coastline, resulting in public beaches that are free from restriction and enjoyed by residents and visitors to this day. Conservatives of that era (and probably this one) undoubtedly grumbled about “burdensome regulation” and “government overreach” but it turns out most citizens actually like it that way. Senator Wayne Morse was one of only two senators to oppose the Gulf of Tonkin resolution in 1964, escalating the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War. Though divisive at the time, history has remembered him favorably. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Portland-Oregon-so-liberal |

Content: Social struggle is alive and well in Brazil. I can't recall the question, but I recall someone saying they were surprised Brazil never underwent a serious socialist revolution. That surprise is warranted, Brazil is almost a textbook exemplification of a country that should have fallen to the workers revolution sonner rather than later. So, to summarize, socialism is strong in South America because it has a perfect place to grow. Being a socialist myself, I'm kind of sad I'll never get to see the flag of Socialist Brazil, which I hoped would be something like this: Guilherme Duarte

What does Socialism mean for you, OP? As far as I know, the only Socialist countries in Latin America are Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolívia. Welfare programs are not signs that a country is socialist. Political labels don’t mean much over there. For instance, the most neoliberal government Brazil ever had was under Lula, a self-labeled socialist trade unionist. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Socialism-so-common-in-Latin-America |
