“Anyone who opens "Teacher" expecting a sepia-toned tale of inspiration and uplift, a highbrow version of "Dead Poets Society" or "Tuesdays With Morrie," will be disappointed. Despite its treacly subtitle ("The One Who Made the Difference"), Mark Edmundson's memoir is an unsentimental account of his intellectual awakening in 1969, the year a freshly minted Harvard graduate named Franklin Lears came to anarchic Medford High School in Massachusetts to teach philosophy” (A Review of "Teacher," by Mark Edmundson. LA Times Book Review, August 4, 2002).
