Some teachers have an odd tendency to speak to their students as though they are kindergarteners. Even if they're teaching a class of 19-year-old Cram Schoolers, college or university students, graduate students, or adults in a workplace training-course. This can be irritating, cute, or both depending on both the teacher and the class. Whether this is limited to just the teacher's demeanor, or whether it actually affects what they teach also varies. Most of them are nice, if overly so. But when these teachers are downright nasty, the trope goes straight into Sadist Teacher territory. Compare Hippie Teacher, with whom this sometimes overlaps. Cool Teacher can be even better. Contrast Sadist Teacher, with which this can overlap, and Stern Teacher. May overlap Tormented Teacher. See also Professional Voice Dissonance if the teacher's "kingdergarten voice" sounds different from their actual speaking voice. Of course, this can be Truth in Television, especially with foreign language teachers. |

Skins: The supremely incompetent university lecturers — the punishment for running away from the guided tour, falling in the pool, smashing up a lab, or smoking cannabis is the same: an "I'm very disappointed in you. Now come along for some squash and biscuits" speech. It's especially grating when the female one says "Oh, all right, you can shag me" in the exact same tone of voice. Josie, Chris's career adviser and later an English teacher, is possibly worse. Shakespeare should never be taught to college students with hand puppetry. |

In many Miraculous Ladybug salt fics, Ms. Bustier switches from being the resident Cool Teacher to one of these, thanks to the fact that her teaching methods in the show (which boil down to "prevent as much conflict as possible and inspire students to avoid conflict") have helped Chloé and Lila get away scot-free with their crimes and have led to innocent students getting unfairly punished. In Leave for Mendeleiev, Ms. Bustier is such a Horrible Judge of Character that she accepts Chloé's claims that she misses Marinette and just can't focus without her at face value, attempting to badger Marinette into transferring back... or agree to "mentor" her long-term bully. Scarlet Lady deconstructs this trope by showing exactly what sort of effect this has on the teacher's students. Bustier has been teaching some of the kids in her care since they were six, and a lot of the philosophies she teaches (largely revolving around love and forgiveness) are more suited for children that age than teenagers. Unfortunately, these philosophies also mean she keeps enabling Chloé by not punishing her for her bullying, fueling the girl's sense of entitlement; meanwhile, the rest of her class has long wised up to the fact that she isn't a great authority figure, but her reputation as a nice teacher means they're worried they'll be seen as the bad guys if they complain about it. |

Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin's teacher Miss Wormwood is an inversion. The only subject she teaches that's appropriate for first graders is basic math like addition and subtraction. Among the rest of her curriculum: The American Revolution, Polish history, the Byzantine Empire, Newton's laws of motion, and word problems that require multiplication and algebra to solve. She has also assigned her students to collect fifty insects and label them with their English and Latin names in two weeks. She issues a similar assignment later on, requiring fifty leaves all from different trees. | |

Mr. Majeika: In one of the books, Penelope Primrose, author of cutesy books about a rabbit called Little Bluebell, appears. She refers to the ten-year-old protagonists as "little tots", speaks in baby talk, and insists she doesn't take any "grown-up drinks" like tea. She's scared off when she sniffs a bouquet of flowers with stinging nettles hidden in them. | |

Discworld: The Cheerful Fairy in Hogfather has shades of this. She addresses elderly wizards as though they were five-year-olds, trying to get them involved in friendship-building and morale-boosting activities. Oh yes, and she cries when they tell her to cut it out. She is like Barney with butterfly wings. She also claims that she never touches alcohol; the wizards dryly remark that they find it's something to be cheerful about. While Death's granddaughter Susan has largely inverted this trope, treating her kindergarten students as if they were inconveniently small adults, she has developed the habit of bowdlerizing her own vocabulary ("Does a bear poo in the woods?") even in front of grown-ups. |

Making Fiends usually has the spineless Mr. Milk as a teacher, but one day he is sick, and is replaced by Mrs. Minty, who talks to the students like how a kindergarten teacher would. Vendetta cannot handle her condescending ways, and eventually forces a not yet recovered Milk to teach the class. | |

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge initially introduces herself to the school by treating the students rather condescendingly and maintaining a sugary sweet demeanor. This soon becomes more sinister as she reveals herself to be a Sadist Teacher (she gives Harry detention by making him write lines in his own blood that cut into his skin), and she becomes even worse when she takes over the school. | |

Justified in the Persona 5 fanfic When The Masks Come Off: After Suguru Kamoshida's change of heart and subsequent arrest, Rio Iwasaki is brought in to replace him. In their first PE class with her, Ann Takamaki and Chiyo Kusakabe feel that Iwasaki is trying a bit too hard to be approachable and seems more suited as an elementary school teacher but they understand why that is as this is Iwasaki's first teaching job and it's being Kamoshida's replacement no less. | |

Jazz from Season 9 of The Apprentice was this... on a business reality show. Treating business "professionals" like five year olds and talking like a hopelessly outdated teacher did not endear her to either her "team" nor Lord Sugar, and she got fired after the first week when her team lost the task. Saying "Aw man!" to Lord Sugar didn't help either... | |

In American Dad!, Deputy Director Bullock seems to run the C.I.A. as though it was a preschool, in one instance even sending Stan to the corner for a time out and not allowing him to have milk (although seeing as each and every one of his agents is a total Manchild, you could argue that he isn't misplaced at all). | |

Arthur: Ms. Sweetwater, the third-grade teacher in the classroom next door — all they ever do in that class is sit around and sing songs. In "Arthur's Substitute Teacher Trouble", the class has Mr. Ratburn's sister as a substitute teacher, who insists on teaching lessons including but not limited to "yellow and blue make green" and "cat is spelled C-A-T". At first the class revels in how easy the lessons are, but by the end of the episode they become bored and irritated by her lessons and attitude, realizing how much better off they were with Mr. Ratburn even if his lessons are harder. |

Inverted in the Drake & Josh episode "Megan's New Teacher": Josh is assigned to teach Megan's science class as part of the "Tomorrow's Teachers Today" program. Despite the class being for 5th graders, Josh assigns his students college-level material, believing that they are somehow capable of learning highly advanced science concepts. Predictably, everyone begins failing the class, and when Drake's substitute drummer (who is in Megan's class) is barred by his parents from playing for his failing grades, Drake and Megan team up to sabotage Josh's next lesson in front of the class's regular teacher to get him fired. | |

Things should be different now that the class is all adults, right? Wrong. What follows is a replay of elementary school, complete with the whining, snitching suckup classmate who reports every petty misdeed to the teacher, and the teacher making the class put their heads down on their desks as punishment for being unruly. | |

Miss Caroline from To Kill a Mockingbird manages to be this even though she is teaching very young kids. The problem is that most of them are the children of farmers and have done manual labor pretty much since they could walk, so they're not really interested in the story of Mrs. Cat and her kittens. She gets a nasty shock when she meets one of the Ewells, a family who traditionally show up for the first day of school to satisfy the truant officer and hardly set foot in town the rest of the year. She tries to apply basic school rules to the kid and ends up getting "slut" screamed at her. | |

Daria: In the episode "Lucky Strike", Mr. DeMartino's replacement is so senile that she actually believes that the senior class are little kids, and treats them as such. Mr. O'Neill has shades of this as well. To his credit, he does acknowledge that he's teaching young adults here, but he's such a Hippie Teacher that he spends all his time worrying about their self-esteem and walking on eggshells around them. Mr. DeMartino is a sort of odd version—he's a Stern Teacher with a Hair-Trigger Temper, but Daria: Is It Fall Yet? shows that he connects with younger children far better than he does with most teens, mostly because of the way that he very loudly voices their own frustrations. |

Ms. Herbig from Dead Like Me, the manager of the Happy Time temp agency. She has a habit of talking to her employees as though they're children, and she seems to think that children are happy little automatons that don't really think, because when her employees don't pretend for her benefit, she gets snippy.

Peppy Happy Gary and Betty from The Fairly OddParents! run an institution called "Flappy Bob's Learnatorium". It's meant for kids of all ages, but they seem to either not realize or care — everyone's a five-year-old in their mind, even the ten-year-old protagonist or that octopus kid who just dropped through the roof. They also take safety regulations to levels that would be outright ludicrous even for actual kindergartners. Their regulations are so restrictive that they wind up inadvertently sucking all the fun out of the activity. For example, their favorite "safety" tactic is to stuff their charges into safety suits that are heavily padded to the point that you can't even move in them. The suits are always intended for activities where you have to move. | |

It turns out that she once worked at an Orphanage of Love which was accidentally burned down, and her psychic abilities caused her to hear the thoughts of all the children as they burned to death. She was traumatized as a result. The part of her mind that contains these memories is well-hidden, and she gently tells Raz not to go there. Granted, her students are all pre-adolescent, but their mental maturity varies wildly because they're all psychics and excessively strange. | |

Takako Shimizu from Chobits wanted to teach young children, but her husband convinced her to become a Cram School teacher so they would have more time together. And then left her for his persocom. She's popular with her students, as she still teaches them the correct tutorial and they think it's cute. It helps that she's hot. | |

Stray Cat Strut: Grasshopper is a samurai sniper with a bug motif who is also an actual kindergarten teacher—she keeps her teaching license next to her literal license to kill. When she hears that Cat has a gaggle of orphans under her care, she shows up dressed in her Sunday best to give everyone (including Cat) a science lesson. | |

One Saturday Night Live sketch features Alec Baldwin as an enthusiastic French teacher who forces his students to always answer in a very bouncy, lilting manner, much to their annoyance (if you've ever taken a public school French class, you know exactly how this sounds). The skit ends with him vacationing in Paris and trying to make a gang of Parisian street toughs start talking in the same way. Needless to say, they kick the crap out him. | |

Magical Project S: Mihoshi is the fourth grade teacher for Sasami's class, but doesn't seem like she could even pass fourth grade herself. The teacher at the prep school acts like this, even getting commented on by one of the students ("does she think we're in kindergarten or something?"). |

Somewhat inverted in The Powerpuff Girls. Ms. Keane, an actual Kindergarten teacher, usually acts like a normal teacher for that grade. However, she sometimes teaches overly advanced subjects to her five-year-olds. | |

Usami/Monomi of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair claims to be the class teacher, and is an excessively cute, "squeezably-soft" Magical Girl stuffed animal. The class in question consists of high school students who are 16 at the youngestExplanation The Ultimates are scouted while they are in high school, which begins in 10th grade in Japan (students are 15-16 then), meaning that they're 16-17 during their first year at Hope's Peak depending on when their birthdays are.. None of them are impressed with her, and she's treated as a Butt-Monkey throughout the entire game, with only Chiaki being nice to her. | |

Zigzagged on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Cheerilee is the only teacher we ever see, though it's implied that there are more. The show likes to abuse Vague Age as much as possible, but it's implied that her students are of puberty age. She talks like a kindergarten teacher to them, but explains setting concepts (like history and biology) more akin to a middle school teacher, and on the blackboard she often has advanced planetary physics equations. Given the moderately anachronistic old-timey feel of Equestria, this may be a nod to the old one-room schoolhouses where one teacher taught all ages and all subjects at different levels. | |

Scarlet Lady deconstructs this trope by showing exactly what sort of effect this has on the teacher's students. Bustier has been teaching some of the kids in her care since they were six, and a lot of the philosophies she teaches (largely revolving around love and forgiveness) are more suited for children that age than teenagers. Unfortunately, these philosophies also mean she keeps enabling Chloé by not punishing her for her bullying, fueling the girl's sense of entitlement; meanwhile, the rest of her class has long wised up to the fact that she isn't a great authority figure, but her reputation as a nice teacher means they're worried they'll be seen as the bad guys if they complain about it. | |

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Greg's mother is gleefully oblivious to Greg's unhappiness to any inconvenience she causes him, from inviting Fregley over to play hide n' seek, to making him participate in the school play of The Wizard of Oz, to joining in Greg's "Magick and Monsters" game and completely ignoring the "kill and level up" nature of the game. Justified, because she used to be a preschool teacher. | |

Ted Lasso: Ted himself is stuck in the mindset of a college football coach at first, emphasizing helping his players grow as people rather than win games. Beard finally gives him a What the Hell, Hero? talk, pointing out that a "winning isn't everything" mindset may work for college students who are going to move on in a few years, it doesn't work for a professional team full of professional athletes, where the sport is their livelihood and quantitative success DOES matter. If AFC Richmond keeps losing and gets relegated, it puts the future of the team in jeopardy, directly harms the players future prospects, and likely results in both coaches getting fired, destroying anything they manage to build in their time there. Inverted with Roy; after he retires from Richmond and starts coaching his niece's Under-9 girls' team, he treats them exactly like professional athletes, complete with swearing at them. |

Legend Heroes: A kindergarten teacher treats everyone like the children she works with. She acts cutesy and teeth-rottingly sweet even around the man who has a crush on her. He is too smitten with her to notice. Unfortunately, she also tries this on the resident stoic Knight Templar, who comes to investigate her possible relation to the current Legend Hero thief. He's not amused. | |

Both subverted and inverted (at various times) by Mr. Garrison of South Park. Although Garrison uses a puppet in his third-grade class, he doesn't treat his students like kindergartners otherwise (he tends more toward "verbally abusive"). Later, when he's demoted to kindergarten teacher, he does things like show them how to put a condom on. Someone else. With your mouth. | |

Little House on the Prairie: In On the Banks of Plum Creek, Laura and Mary attend their first Sunday School class (after years of Biblical instruction and family worship at home). Laura likes the teacher Mrs. Tower, but she does exclaim a lot and introduced the class with a story of Baby Moses in the bulrushes (Laura remarks to herself that even Baby Carrie knew that story) and she gives Laura (who knew how to recite long verses and songs from the Bible) a very small verse. Eliza Jane Wilder teaches this way when she takes over as teacher of Laura's school, talking down to her students and saying things like "Birds in their little nests agree." It makes almost all of her students uncomfortable, and Laura observes to herself that — aside from proving that she knows nothing about birds if she really believes that's true — Miss Wilder will stand no chance whatsoever of being able to maintain discipline in the classroom that way once the older boys come to school after the harvest. Her prediction proves only too accurate. |

Homestar Runner has Marzipan be this in the Strong Bad Email "coloring", where she's the profoundly condescending head of "L.U.R.N", calling her grown students "life blossoms" and having crayons that don't actually colour, "so that no one life-blossom shines brighter than any other." Of course, it's not surprising considering how her students are Strong Mad, Homestar, and Homsar. Although when Strong Bad asks, she casually admits that her "class" is really a cult. | |

Doug's school counselor Mr. Shellacky straddles this trope and Hippie Teacher, often suggesting hugs, and talks about almost everything (including his computers and the current problems Doug has) in a sing-song voice and giving pet names.

While Lily from How I Met Your Mother is a kindergarten teacher. In the brief period when she has other jobs, she shows a tendency to try and deal with workplace conflicts in the same manner and with the same reasoning as she had with the little children (well, if they are going to act like children...). One episode has her working as an assistant in Ted's office and end up taking away the boss's "toy", a signed baseball, because he was being a Jerkass. It is worth noting that this approach works rather well for dealing with her husband, Marshall. However, Lily's approach to actually being a kindergarten teacher tends to be a bit more adult then expected. There was the one incident with the severed toy horse's head next to the sleeping unruly kid. | |

Glad Hand, the chaperone at the dance in West Side Story. He talks to the Jets and the Sharks as though they're 6th graders attending their first social event, and tries to organize a "get-together dance" for them. While he retains this vibe in the 1961 film, it's averted in the 2021 film, where he's clearly much more aware that he's dealing with two dangerous street gangs and that his efforts are inevitably going to fail. | |
