Comments on the clue

1.	Very nice clue, though I feel 'influence' doesn't quite suggest the impact of 'mesmerise'
2.	Not sure what you mean by RIS – Wikipedia not being terribly helpful in providing context
3.	The definition seems rather vague and perhaps 'revolution of schoolteacher' would be fairer.
