...from its inadequate level. All Harvard teaching fellows should be required to pass a course on how to lead a Harvard undergraduate section—such as those currently offered on a volunteer basis at the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning—before being allowed to instruct students. If this were enforced, TFs would actually have classroom teaching experience under their belts, rather than being recruited the day before class starts...

Now they instruct rural women on health and childbirth. "We teach [the circumcisers] a trade that responds to their economic needs," Gambian Fatou Waggeh, an anti-FGM campaigner who was circumcised at 15 and is now 32, told a Rome conference in March. "[We] recognize that we must provide them with alternatives for training and [keeping their] power within the community...
