Answer:From past earthquakes, multi-story buildings with weak and/or open front wall lines creating a “soft-story” (i.e. buildings with tuck-under-parking) performed poorly and collapsed. The goal of the mandatory retrofit program, under Ordinance 183893 and Ordinance 184081, is to reduce structural deficiencies by the most economical and feasible method. Without proper strengthening, these vulnerable buildings may be subjected to structural failure during and/or after an earthquake.

Buildings that are most vulnerable have been identified with the following criteria:

Consist of 2 or more stories wood frame construction

Built under building code standards enacted before January 1, 1978

Contains ground floor parking or other similar open floor space

The program does not apply to residential buildings with 3 or less units.

Leona [35]

Answer:

A. But do not be surprised if it is not.

Explanation:

The author in the sentence quoted is saying that if women cannot afford the time to put their ideas to paper, then at least the ideas expressed in their conversation should improve.

I don't think it is a question of work and play. It's sort of a silly phrase, but I realize you are stuck with it.

I think A is your best answer, and I cannot think of any kind of alternative from the other 3 that are satisfactory. The problem is that there is compensation for having little time but being able to think: the time spent contemplating will show up in conversation.

Answer:easy

Explanation:

The school system is outdated because the amount of work that is given to students and the policies the school board gives

Most schools give students a gross amount of work and want them done in 5- 7 days. In my opinion that's overwhelming for a majority of students. In school the school board claims to say they care for students' mental health but if they did why give students so much work to the point they break down and are no longer motivated to do anything. And getting an extension on an assignment won't happen so freely because a lot of teachers or parents will blame it on laziness and say that students aren't trying at all, just gaslighting. Making it seem like its the students fault.

Another reason the school system is outdated is because of bullying. All schools have a no bully tolerance policy. But does that ever stop bullying? No. Instead when anything negative is happening between or towards students staff members and the principals dismiss it as miss behavior and put the kid(s) in detention or suspend them. In most Casses this is a reasonable punishment. But these days bullying is much more severe and causes a lot of problems for student from depression, and poor grades, and the unthinkable. another thing I notice with schools and bullying is that they always post pone the problems. A child could write down a statement on the situation and the staff will push it to another day to deal with until they forget about it and they kid(s) that were in the wrong or were wronged have no repercussions and no justice. Adults continue to say "their kids they don't know better" but even if they don't you're supposed to teach them better.

Further more In schools they teach us everything BUT what we need to know, Like what type of people are out there in the world and what they do to kid(s) and humans in general. what are reoccurring problems happening in the world now. and reading things that are more interesting to the students so their more illiterate. Doing math problems but slowing down so students can grasp the idea. Doing more hands on learning in science. learning things we will really use in the future.

In conclusion this is why I think the school system is outdated. The little things like these keeps kids smart, and well-rounded about their surroundings. Because in the moment the school system is just recycling used material and shutting down students who don't matter are not seen. A long with that they are drowning students in non-interesting facts that they feel is irrelevant to them.
