    You mean "wrest" back, not "rest" back. You can "wrest" control of something (a company, the government) = to take control by force.

    For the first example, I'd say instead: "This tactic would be impractical due to the fact that schools have never implemented it." (The way it was written initially would certainly be understood, but would sound a little odd and stilted.) For the second: "Were all buildings painted white, residents would feel scared." This sentence would certainly be understood, and sounds more natural than the first example. But most people would probably say "If all the the buildings were painted white, residents would feel scared".

    I would say that there's no real difference between the two.

    In 2014, *the* Lauder research group at Harvard University, *for the first time*, successfully manufactured flexible bio-mimetic shark skins. If you use "for the very first time", it makes the emphasis slightly different. You would use it when it's something that has been done again and again since then, and has become quite commonplace. You probably really wouldn't use this in the context of a new research approach even if within your research group it has been repeated multiple times - you'd use it if it's become much more widespread than that.
