...tough question, and it?s one that school districts across the country need to ask of themselves as they continue to fill classrooms with scores of energetic but unprepared teachers like the one I was. Widespread teacher shortages - which will become even more acute in the next few years - have made a mockery of the idea that teachers should have licenses before taking over classrooms. In California, more than 37,000 teachers don?t have credentials.

The scene is typical of urban China's industrial districts; in Nanhai, a small city in booming, rough-and-tumble Guangdong province, scores of factories cluster together, their front yards choked with piles of twisted metal, junked plastic and old computer parts. But the killers who struck in the predawn hours of July 16 knew exactly which path would take them to their targets: Hou Kuo-li and Yeh Ming-yi, a pair of middle-aged businessmen from Taiwan who lived...
