...right side of her head was so swollen it hung over her ear. Her body was covered in nail scratches and bruises. Her thumb was broken. Shekhar ran to fetch his mother, and they rushed Babita to a hospital, where a doctor diagnosed a severe concussion. Then, gathering a furious crowd of neighbors, the family went to the police. Faced with an angry mob, Batra and her brother were arrested after eyewitnesses confirmed that the child was abused and overworked, forced to do the cleaning for the household and kindergarten. If the little girl complained, she got a thrashing...
Small wonder that California seethes with anger and accusations as furious consumers, power suppliers, legislators and regulators point fingers at one another. "Consumers are being asked to conserve on power, but suppliers are unwilling to give up a shred of their profits," complains Susan Weisberg, a San Francisco editor whose home office went dark for more than an hour last Thursday.

After early struggles with students who resisted challenges and barked at any criticism, who refused to regard themselves as beginners or who were furious if I didn't regard their short stories as brilliant, I stumbled upon some dubious teaching techniques, reversed the criticisms of these chronically unhappy students and improved my student evaluations for the semester. My record would reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. But I would argue that I taught these students little. They...
