The Hippie Teacher eschews traditional academic discipline with a more laid back, free spirit, peace, love and grooviness to their curriculum. May or may not be a good teacher, but rarely a good disciplinarian. Often let students call them by their first name "Mr. Hippie is my father; you can call me Rod," and a strange incense can be smelled from their office. Definitely Truth in Television; while they can be in different areas of the school they tend to be in liberal arts, guidance counselors or other "soft" or "creative" subjects. Hard sciences are less common, unless crossed with Absent-Minded Professor. When portrayed sympathetically, this character is usually a Cool Teacher who is passionate about their students and finds alternative ways to influence the Book Dumb. If portrayed unsympathetically, they're either incompetent pushovers who are trying to slide by with minimal effort and hand out A's like candy, or sees their students as an entire generation they can program their own counter-culture / anti-authority ideals on. May overlap with a Sadist Teacher, but more likely to be seen as harmless or a positive influence. Foil to the Stern Teacher. Compare Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher and Psychologist Teacher, Hippie Parents for the parent variant, and Loony Librarian. |

The Simpsons: Springfield Elementary has one — he's just a background character, but he usually shows up when there's a group of teachers onscreen. When all the textbooks were stolen and the teachers had to improvise their lessons, he sat cross-legged on his desk and asked, "Did I ever tell you kids about the '60s?" Skinner dates one in "Flaming Moe", the substitute music teacher Calliope. "Weekend At Burnsie's": When Homer starts medicating upstairs, Lisa sniffs the air and remarks "It smells like the art teacher's office." |

iCarly: Mr. Henning. He loves nature, disproves of modern methods (or rather just major energy wasting ones), and takes students on a root and berry retreat. Henning seems to use the root and berry retreat as a form of Cool and Unusual Punishment on his students. While he himself enjoys it, he knows his students don't and uses it as a threat to make them try their best on their projects (failing grades can only be made up by going on the trip with him). |

Mr. Van Driessen on Beavis and Butt-Head (pictured), a literal hippie who embodies pretty much every stereotype associated with the 60's counter-culture. His teaching methods and easy going nature makes him fairly popular with the students, but are unfortunately completely wasted on the main characters. Supposedly based on a real teacher Mike Judge had in high school. | |

Rick and Morty used the trope in The Stinger of "Lawnmower Dog", where the stern teacher in Scary Terry's nightmare gets replaced by "Scary Mr. Johnston", who then corrects himself, using the "that's my dad's name" line and telling the class to call him "Scary Glenn." | |

In the Discworld continuum of A.A. Pessimal, unwary students at the Assassins’ Guild School might briefly think that just because she looks like the classic Hippie Teacher, their Art Mistress, Miss Gillian Lansbury, is a pushover. Gillian is also a graduate Assassin. She makes her own paints. Even those hues hitherto thought to be harmless are deadly. Pupils annoying her are soon sent to create their own bespoke paintbox and find themselves grinding the pigments for Ubu White (lead), Agatean Yellow (arsenic), Cobalt Blue, Vermilion (mercury salts), Prussic Green (cyanides) and other gloriously colourful pigments such as Death Black and Agent Orange. They might also discover even the linseed oil isn’t harmless if ingested. | |

In the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin prequel story Casval, 0057, it's revealed that Char's father Zeon Zum Deikun was originally a politically active university professor before becoming the face of the Space Colony independence movement. Being that he's involved in a car bomb plot against the Federation security bureau and makes overwrought comparisons between Jesus Christ and his newly born son (who will go on to attempt to blow up the entire Earth) Deikun is less New-Age Retro Hippie and more dangerously unhinged Weather Underground hippie. | |

Recess: Ms. Grotke is the most obvious example, but according to The Movie, Principal Prickly and Ms. Finster were Hippie Teachers back in the sixties. This would make Ms.Grotke a new age hippie seen often in the 90s. But an episode has the kids going through old year books and they see Ms.Finster as a much younger teacher. The year book praises the young teacher for positive, progressive new ways of teaching. |

Steve Small from The Amazing World of Gumball is the student counselor for Elmore Junior High and very much a hippie: he wears tie-dye and sandals, holds interpretive dance classes, and tried to subsist on a diet of sunlight and meditation. Beneath that however, he strongly diverges from the type as he shows himself to be violently bipolar, impatient, and often quite mean to his students—he once smashed an old painting with a club and burned it for being a "relic of convention", acted as a Drill Sergeant Nasty at cheerleading try outs, and when two students have trouble with when to tell the truth or lie he eventually decides to just scare them into never talking again. He also admitted to only being a vegan so he can feel superior to everyone else and in another was willing to eat the Wattersons when he led a raider gang of students and neighbors. | |

Mr. Jellineck from Strangers with Candy, in sharp contrast to his secret lover. According to Paul Dinello, Jellineck (a totally insecure loser) was based on Hippie Teachers who in real life are often considered kind of creepy by their students, who don't really want a forty-year-old man giving them advice on problems he shouldn't even know about and insisting that he "gets" them all the time. |

In Animal House, Donald Sutherland plays Professor Dave Jennings, a university level version of this. In a slight variation, the film's setting is contemporaneous with the actual hippie movement, making him a Cool Teacher as well. As it turns out, he's just as bored by the subject matter of his lectures as his students are. | |

The music teacher, Miss Edmunds, in Bridge to Terabithia is a literal hippie as the book takes place not soon after the The Vietnam War. She stands out like a sore thumb in the small town she lives in due to this. She's considered weird because she wears pants and a lot of the adults complain about her. Jess however has a Precocious Crush on her and thinks she's a breath of fresh air amongst his boring peers. | |

Mr. Rosso on Freaks and Geeks is a Hippie Guidance Counselor. Interestingly enough, while he still fits the classic trope, he's also a well-rounded enough character to be legitimately helpful at times and be thoroughly capable of discipline. Though he may be more disciplinary than most trope examples, the legacy of his time as a hippy does occasionally disadvantage him. For example, in an episode when then Vice President George H. W. Bush came to visit the school, despite his political differences he tied back his hair and put on his best air of respectability. However, he is turned away by a secret service agent (played by Ben Stiller) due to his name being on some subversive mailing lists back in The '60s. |

Mr. Mackey, the school counselor on South Park, is almost a Captain Ersatz for Mr. Van Driessen, since he is constantly using the catchphrase "Mmmkay?" He doesn't quite fit the profile visually with his tightly-tied tie and short haircut, but he is a lot more "empathetic" toward the children than teacher Mr. Garrison (who often loses his temper when the students get unruly). His Day in the Limelight episode also has him briefly take up drugs and embrace an overtly hippie lifestyle, although of course he gives up both by the end of the episode. | |

Family Guy had an episode where Chris is in danger of failing history because of his Stern Teacher (and just being plain dumb). Stewie and Brian attempt to help him learn the material via a time-travel adventure, but with very little success, until they arrive back home, and discover that Chris's original teacher no longer exists due to them accidentally causing his ancestor to drown on the Titanic. He has been replaced by a hippie named Teacher Doug who "doesn't believe in tests". | |

River's Edge: Interestingly zigzagged with Mr. Burkewaite who appears in this film twice. First in the beginning he delivers a speech about the progress made by the US society due to the 60's Civil rights movement in 60's. Then it the ending he somewhat too energetically reprimands the students for not caring about the death of their mate. He reproaches both those students who did not report the murderer as well as the rest the class. He finishes his diatribe with the remark than all pupils do not care about the death of their classmate as if they did they'd be out on the street hunting down John. Thus becoming a proponent of vigilantism and posses no less. |

Although not exactly a hippie (he's a rock musician), Jack Black's character from School of Rock fits the bill, especially his "stick it to the Man" diatribes and very liberal views on discipline. | |

Lily on How I Met Your Mother is one of these to her kindergarten class. Somewhat justified since pre-schoolers really don't respond very well to a Stern Teacher. | |

Valerie on Awkward., who is more of a Cloud Cuckoolander than a hippie, but fits the mold by being a horrible disciplinarian and treating the kids (especially Jenna, her favorite) like they're her friends. | |
