Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })So tell me about the Sucky School. There's the bus driver who puts the kids in danger, the cafeteria worker who attacks you with their Mystery Meat, the school bully who starts causing major havoc in the schoolyard and the popular kids are looking for ones that are also considered popular and would exclude you because they hate you. Then there are those teachers. The teacher who bullies you for their own amusement and humiliation. The one who openly mocks you in front of the rest of the class. The one who tells you they want you to fail because they hate you and you don't deserve to move up, and give you F-- grades. If you're not paying enough attention in class, beware of flying objects. If they teach gym you'll likely ended up getting dodgeballs in the face every day, if not worse. They're the education system's answer to Drill Sergeant Nasty (or worse). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Sometimes they are the Child Hater, but sometimes it's just one special child who becomes the target of their rancor. Either way, they are as cruel as they can possibly be within the confines of their job, but because they're a teacher, anyone seeking justice for their sadistic behavior is likely to be completely ignored. They're also almost always the most suspicious of the Ordinary High-School Student with a Secret Identity and determined to uncover the Masquerade. Worse, maybe they have discovered it, and now the student has to keep them from exposing them. Principals, counselors, and coaches are no exceptions to this trope. Sadly, if they escaped at graduation, the student may run into a classier, but more cruel college equivalent, Dean Bitterman. All too often this is a case of Truth in Television. Sometimes this trope will be inspired by the creator's own personal experiences, but many examples take it Up to Eleven and portray levels of abuse that would get any real teacher fired and/or arrested on the spot. Values Dissonance applies, as these techniques are often still considered appropriate in some countries, and even stateside these teachers will have defenders in more conservative parents. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })See Stern Teacher for their more reasonable counterpart. Dean Bitterman is usually somewhere in between. May overlap with Evil Teacher, or with Sinister Minister in a parochial school. Pick on Someone Your Own Size comes in any time an adult sees a child or teenager as a personal enemy. Commonly found in a Boarding School of Horrors. Contrast with Apathetic Teacher, Hippie Teacher, Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher, and Badass Teacher. Examples: |

In Red String, Arata routinely torments his students; he even orchestrates getting the main character expelled when she dares to stand up to him in class for ridiculing a friend. It's to the point that another main character (known for being headstrong and prone to foolhardy heroism) has been asked by the student body to do something about him. | |

Kanon: Kuze, president of the student council, is introduced to ridicule Yuichi at the school ball, before issuing Mai a harsh warning about the trouble she had been causing for the school. He is all too eager to expel her when a demon attacks, even though she didn't actually destroy anything herself, is not any nicer to those debating things with him, and even threatens Mai's friend Sayuri if anything ever happens again after Yuichi and Kitagawa just barely talk him out of following through. | |

Horrible Histories: A Running Gag in every book is that all teachers are sadistic, cruel and shouldn't be pitied. Author Terry Deary had very bad memories of his school years and feels he never learned a thing. In the book about the Second World War Deary claims that Hitler survived the war: "He was my teacher in secondary school. I know this for sure!" | |

Agatha Trunchbull of Matilda, reputedly used by Roald Dahl as a surrogate for all the cruel tutors he had over the years. Her treatment of children, as Matilda deduces, is deliberately so extreme and outlandish that no kid's parents will believe the truth even on the off chance any child got up the courage to tell. It is also explained that the parents are just as terrified as the kids. She cites Wackford Squeers from Nicholas Nickleby as inspiration: "He knew how to handle the little brutes, didn't he!" Plus the way she treats her own niece, the much more benevolent teacher Miss Honey.... It's actually implied that Trunchbull even may have had a hand in Miss Honey's father's death. Made even more explicit later, when Matilda uses her telekinetic powers to write on the blackboard, pretending to be the ghost of Miss Honey's father: "[...] or I will come and get you... like you got me." Trunchbull is appropriately terrified, and the illustration shows her reflexively grasping at her throat. | |

The Carrows in The Deathly Hallows are sadists. They force the students to practice torture curses on students who got detention—including 11-year-old first years. Snape's punishment of the students who tried to steal the Sword of Gryffindor for Harry Potter was very mild by comparison to the Carrows' punishments for far less severe student misbehavior. | |

Wackford Squeers from Nicholas Nickleby. He runs an orphanage full of unwanted children and asks for a large fee. Then he starves and mistreats them while using the money sent by their parents to pad his own pockets. He and his wife regularly beat up the children, while spoiling their own son. The character was rumored to have been based on a notorious English headmaster, William Shaw, who once beat a boy so badly that he turned blind. Dickens denied the claims, however, out of fear of libel. | |

Subverted in Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack. A sadistic Maths teacher terrorizes his "weakest" student to the point of traumatizing him, but is actually a good person at heart who only wants to toughen the kiddo up. The boy almost dies in a street accident that he got in because he was too distraught by his phobia of the teacher to look before crossing the streets, and the man feels so guilty when he finds out that he attempts to kill himself and give the money of his health insurance to the kid's mother so Dr. Black Jack can operate on the boy. In the end, Black Jack saves both of them. | |

Bonanza: The 1972 episode "First Love" focused on the school's new headmaster Dan Edwards, who belittles and humiliates the students... except for star pupil Jamie Hunter Cartwright, who somehow meets the teacher's demands. But the teacher-student relationship is doomed by other means, as Jamie becomes friends with Mr. Edwards' wife, Kelly... who is abused by her husband. In the end, Jamie tells Mr. Edwards that he is aware that he is abusive, and after Edwards slaps Jamie, it isn't long before he is run out of Virginia City. | |

The Simpsons Bart's kindergarten teacher. Ohh boy, did Bart have it rough in Kindergarten... Even worse is that her treatment towards Bart happened before he became the brat that he is known as. That's right, she is the reason that Bart is the trouble maker that he is today! Subverted in "The PTA Disbands!". The teachers go on strike due to Bart's manipulation and a series of substitutes from the townspeople are introduced and quit one by one. Principal Skinner, fed up with the turnover rate, then introduces a thuggish-looking substitute who immediately starts hurling abuse at the terrified students. He's actually just there to introduce Marge, the real substitute. The same man (named Leopold), also appeared in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" where it appears he's going to be the new principal after Skinner is fired. Again he terrifies the kids only to announce the real new principal is Ned Flanders. There are also teachers (despite their upbeat attitude) that are known penalize students who tattle and moan (even if they're A-students), show no sympathy towards those who cry, and initially pair up students who clearly do not get along at all, causing even more friction in the class. Audrey McConnell from the episode "Bart vs. Lisa in Third Grade", is a clear candidate for this trope. In "Black-Eyed, Please", a new teacher, Mrs. Cantwel, takes a liking to everyone in the class except for Lisa, whom Cantwel bullies by giving her below-average grades and taking the paper cutout joeys off the kangaroo-themed "good behavior" board. When Homer and Marge try to get Principal Skinner to do something, the bullying worsens. Later, Edna got the idea of putting Bart in Cantwell's class and when Cantwell leaves to go to the bathroom, Bart brings chaos to the classroom and then he shows her a compromising video of herself in the bathroom cursing Lisa and tells her he posted it online. The plan works in getting Cantwell to leave and before she drives off, the bully teacher confesses the reason for her hatred of Lisa, Mrs. Cantwell thinks that pretty girls like Lisa have it easier than girls like herself. In the same episode, Mrs. Cantwell sends Lisa to detention, and she asks Jimbo, Kearney and Dolph how a teacher can be a bully. This ends up giving them the idea of becoming teachers so that they can bully the other kids and get away with it. All of these pale in comparison to Jack Lassen, Edna's replacement in "Blazed and Confused", who smokes in school even more frequently than Edna and Hoover, and will not tolerate class clown behaviour at all and gets glee in kicking the dog (or in this case, the cat) literally and metaphorically. He even shaved Bart just for attempting to pull a prank. He's so bad he even steals lunch money from the bullies and Bart vows revenge. Finally, when Lassen is publicly embarrassed by Bart, he tries to kill the boy. |

In a surprising move, the titular character from Dominic Deegan is a subversion of the Sadist Teacher trope; yes, he teaches a very difficult class, but his reputation precedes him, and he's in fact a very approachable person. How is that a subversion, exactly? Not every case of a teacher not being a sadist is a subversion. It's a subversion in that, while he has a reputation as an incredibly difficult teacher, all of his students love him and are better people because of him, he never humiliates or bullies them in any way, and they all actively try to help him in every way they can. The class is hard because the subject is hard, not because he's a bad teacher. In fact, all of his students considered him their favorite, and were devastated when his reputation as a "hard" teacher caused him to get fired. |

According to molesworth, the masters at his school "are all teddy boys and would slit you with a broken botle for 2 pins." At one point, he also imagines the school as it was in the time of Christopher Columbus, run by one Doctor Kurdling, who during a lesson canes random pupils every few minutes. | |

The Horrible Histories franchise gleefully invokes this both on the page and screen (a direct result of creator Terry Deary's deep mistrust of formal education). Highlights from the TV series include the puppet rat host introducing a single pea on a plate as a brain 'from a PE teacher', the Grim Reaper deciding to quit and 'become a school headmaster', and this doozy from Elagabalus in the "Evil Emperors' Song": | |

iCarly: Mr. Howard, the teacher in the episode "iGot Detention". This leads to double the trouble in the episode "iHave My Principals": after Principal Franklin gets fired, Briggs and Howard are made co-principals, and turn the school into a miniature police state. Not only do they act horrible to the kids (Gibby got detention just for being Gibby, and the guy told Freddie to wipe "that look off of his face", despite it being Freddie's neutral face. When Freddie protested by saying that it was his face, the guy said "Well, maybe you should change it, then!"), they also force them to wear uniforms, and apparently have hidden microphones in the hallway. | |

For a little while, Adventures in Odyssey had "Dr. Hawthorne", who is always convinced that local Nice Guy kid Trent Dewhite is up to no good. Said teacher crosses into this trope in the episode "A Glass Darkly", where he repeatedly accuses Trent for all sorts of random crimes that Trent had nothing to even do with, refused to let Trent explain himself if he didn't just flat out ignore him, and wouldn't let Trent off the hook even though Trent had a very important meeting to attend. | |

Beavis and Butt-Head: Inverted with Mr. Van Driessen, the boys' overly spiritual social studies teacher, who apparently can't bring himself to discipline anyone and gets steamrolled by their pranks time and time again. Played straight by Drill Sergeant Nasty-turned-teacher Mr. Buzzcut, who is the complete and utter polar opposite of Mr. Van Driessen. He at least cares about the students well-being however as in one episode he ran to the defense of his students, specifically Beavis and Butt-Head themselves no less, to protect them from a guest teacher who was physically attacking them. |

A Diplomatic Visit: As noted in chapter 4 of the second sequel, Diplomacy Through Schooling, Trixie had one in her hometown, a Mrs. Hydia, mentioning that the thoroughly unpleasant Spoiled Rich reminds her of the teacher in question. This is one of the reasons she transferred to the School For Gifted Unicorns instead. | |

Teacher in The Bash Street Kids is usually just stuck with an uncontrollable class (except for the pet). Well, one annual had him bring the kids (along with goody two-shoes Walter, and Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx) on a field trip. Nice, right? Except it was a trip into space. After which, obviously with his approval, Walter and Cuthbert LAUNCH ALL THE TROUBLEMAKING KIDS INTO SPACE. Where they realized that they would fly through space forever. Sure, everything works out in the end, and the kids were a bunch of jerkasses, but he was essentially starving a bunch of kids to death. Beware the Nice Ones! | |

Famously Mr Brocklehurst of Jane Eyre. He's a sadistic school master who at one point makes a girl have all her hair cut off for the "sin" of curling it (ignoring the protests that it's naturally curly). He also keeps the school cold and poorly rationed - with many students dying of a typhus epidemic as a result. He also has the cruel Miss Scatcherd as The Dragon. Both are based off real teachers Charlotte Bronte had to endure at Cowan Bridge School (the former of William Carus Wilson, the latter of Miss Andrews) - and two of her older sisters died as a result of the poor conditions. When the real man tried to sue her for legal action, several other former pupils came forward to verify her story; most of whom said she'd actually toned his behavior down! | |

The Secret Life of Us has a substitute teacher nicknamed Mr. Mad Dog, who appears in a flashback to Will's childhood. Will tells his friends a story about the teacher walking into a rowdy class, forcing everyone to admit to how they'd been misbehaving, and hitting each on the hand with a ruler in turn. When it was Will's turn, he told him, quite honestly, that he'd done nothing but sit there trying to ignore everyone else. Mad Dog ignored him, repeated the question and continued hitting Will, who refused to change his story. It went on long enough for another teacher to hear them from the hallway and intervene, and Mad Dog was fired. | |

Gravedale High generally averted this trope, as Max Schneider wasn't the only reasonable teacher at the titular All-Ghouls School, but the trope is played straight in "Goodbye Gravedale", where Schneider is driven away by his class because of a misunderstanding and is briefly replaced by substitute teachers Mr. Gross and Miss Burns, who both prove to be considerably harsher than Schneider. The latter even forced the class to take twelve tests on the same day. | |

Harry Potter: Snape is an example of this, given how bad his mood is or if your name's Harry or Neville or Ron or, to a slightly lesser extent, Hermione (he seems to respect her intelligence) or, to a somewhat even lesser extent, anyone who is not a Slytherin. The fact that he indirectly orphaned Harry makes it even worse. Highlights include testing potions on Neville's pet (which, it should be pointed out, would have killed the toad if Hermione hadn't helped Neville) and verbally abusing him even outside the classroom. Harry and Neville find the OWL exams from Potions less stressful than a class, because Snape isn't overseeing them. Grand prize probably goes to when Draco and Harry duel during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Their curses rebound, causing Goyle and Hermione to get hit. Goyle is sent to the hospital wing, and points are taken off of Gryffindor. When Ron shows Snape that Hermione's teeth have grown like those of a beavers, he looks at the fifteen-year-old girl and says coolly, "I see no difference." But even he can't compete with... Dolores Umbridge. She's a Smug Snake who makes at least two students write lines with a quill that magically cuts their lines into their hands each time they write until they scar (more than two in the films) and briefly takes over Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She emphatically crosses the Moral Event Horizon, all the while maintaining a very annoying Stepford Smiler pretense. The Carrows in The Deathly Hallows are sadists. They force the students to practice torture curses on students who got detention—including 11-year-old first years. Snape's punishment of the students who tried to steal the Sword of Gryffindor for Harry Potter was very mild by comparison to the Carrows' punishments for far less severe student misbehavior. |

Apart from having broken the arm of her niece, she enjoys torturing children, be it force-feeding them, putting them in a non-lethal Iron Maiden or throwing them out of the window from the third floor. She in fact loves it so much that she has taken the punishments Up to Eleven, just to be sure that the parents would never believe their child if one spilled the beans. | |

Mrs. Wormwood from Calvin and Hobbes is an interesting take on this trope. Calvin (being Calvin) believes his behavior is justified, even appropriate, so when she doles out completely reasonable punishments, it appears to him that she is a sadist. In reality, it's a combination of her being both the worst possible teacher for a student like Calvin, and Calvin being a Sadist Student. | |

Mr Bronson of Grange Hill was mostly a stern man but his treatment to one student in particular was definitely sadistic. The kid, Danny Kendall, was about to leave school and was even given an offer to his ideal job... before Bronson found out, called up the business and said some truly awful things about him. The two had been having this arc where Bronson was trying to 'Bring [Kendall] into line' which ended when Danny lost the job offer, they had a fight in Bronson's office, and Danny stole Mr Bronson's car and used it in his carbon monoxide suicide, which in turn led to Bronson being forced to prematurely end his own career. The fact that Bronson was Hitler shows how bad he was. | |

The first 7 volumes of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! have: a Vamp who dates men and breaks their hearts for the hell of it, a sadistic guidance counselor who regularly mocks the lower-scoring students and tried to stomp on Anzu/Tea's electronic keychain, and a gym teacher who bullies Bakura because of his hairstyle. All three found themselves on the receiving end of karma in the end, though (the Vamp had her makeup peeled off, revealing how ugly she really was to the whole class; the counselor was revealed to be bald and wearing a toupee; the gym teacher got turned into an RPG figurine by Dark Bakura). | |

Usually subverted and/or averted in the Whateley Universe, even though the stories center around the Super Hero School Whateley Academy and some of the teachers are retired supervillains. Erik Mahren, the ex-Marine range master on Range 4 (the heavy weapons range) is notorious for being absolutely ruthless when it comes to weapons safety, but the net result of that is that no students are hurt or killed on the ranges in his entire tenure as rangemaster. The Reverend Darren England has gone after a couple students when he senses their connection to planet-threatening evil... but goes way over the line when he hires Syndicate hitmen to help some of his minions try to assassinate one such student (who happens to be one of the good guys). The closest thing to the "sadist teacher" archetype seen at Whateley so far would actually be Amelia Hartford, though she ends up being more of a highly placed Obstructive Bureaucrat or Dean Bitterman due to not actually having a teaching position (that we've seen thus far). |

Cotton Hill from King of the Hill describes the principal where he went to military school as, "In my day the principal was the meanest son of a bitch God ever put on one leg, he'd lean on a desk with both hands and swing his leg at you, then when you were standing there shocked the one-legged man would kick you....... he'd bite you!" And it wasn't just him, the whole school was like that. Cotton actually looks back on the experience fondly and is outraged to find out that the school is no longer sadistic (after being sued multiple times). He forcibly takes over the place and becomes a Sadist Teacher himself, reinstating the cruel punishments of his day, and is driven mad when Bobby No-Sells every single one. | |

Professor Mericet of the Assassins' Guild (teaching Strategy and Poison Theory) in Discworld. Rumour amongst the students is that if you get him as the examiner for your final exam, you might as well kill yourself immediately and save time.

As Told by Ginger: The substitute teacher Mrs. Grimley takes it Up to Eleven. She makes the students sit facing the wall, she does not allow passing notes in class, drifting off into space, hall passes, talking, smiling, laughing, or breathing (if she hears you doing it), and she forces them to write essays for minor infractions. The essays get longer as the episode goes on. She makes Ginger, Miranda, and Courtney write 16,000-word essays for passing a note in class (and adds another thousand words for complaining). Ginger tries to see the good side of Mrs. Grimley by defending her house when the other students egg and TP it. And as it turns out, she doesn't have a good side and doesn't even care that her students pulled pranks on her house. Ginger and the students all rebel against her, and Ginger promptly gets detention for her "Reason You Suck" Speech. There's also Ginger's high school teacher Mrs. Zorski, who greets Ginger with, "Let me guess, you're an ex-student of Eleanor's. My cousin and I have nothing in common except the last name." Her actions from that point forward could just be considered a bad case of Stern Teacher, but the fact that she doesn't seem to notice or care that she scares Ginger and the other kids to death and stresses them out is a red flag. She calls Ginger a "lazy freshman" and throws her "chicken scratch" homework in the trash right to her face after Ginger accidentally missed her class that morning. Then there was the fact she gave Ginger a full days suspension for sleeping in her class which she only did because she had a caffeine crash which she started just to get through her classes. Worst of all, she showed no sympathy after Ginger was recovering from appendicitis surgery and just told her life doesn't care for her appendix. Carl's middle school science teacher, Mr. Brooks, who was so anxious to set the poor kid up to fail that he convinced Carl that he had contracted a deadly virus that killed victims within 48 hours from the off-limits lab freezer. There was no such thing, and Lois chews Brooks out over it. |

Sister Dominique from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Despite being a nun, she shows blatant favoritism towards London, always punishing Maddie for things that London does. One episode has her giving Maddie detention for "tempting" London when she accidentally violated a copyright while writing a kid's book. London was the one that decided to blow the entire thing out of proportion and have her book published. Another episode (one where Maddie is Put on a Bus) has her giving Maddie a pamphlet that was at least 30 years old to get her to come over to a camp. Said camp is a horrible place (they're across the street from a slaughterhouse and they once had leech cobbler as a meal). However, given that she is a nun, she is a downplayed example, and she is generally nice. It usually shows because of Maddie's less-than-positive or complaining attitude towards others. This is somewhat justified. London is a well-meaning idiot who rarely intentionally tries to do something wrong, whereas Maddie is a snarky little witch who constantly makes mean-spirited insults to everyone, even if she has a point. This might actually be the show's way of lampshading Protagonist-Centered Morality. |

Mr Large, the chief physical trainer at the CHERUB campus. Partly justified in that he has the job of ensuring ordinary children develop special-forces levels of physical and mental toughness, so shouting at exhausted children and forcing then to run laps until they vomit or making them spend the night outside in thin clothing in December is expected, but the fact is he A: enjoys it and B: picks on specific children who anger him unfairly. He at one point takes the children in basic 100 day training out on Christmas day, lines them up outside the campus canteen so they can see the other children inside having Christmas dinner, and makes them do push-ups. When this fails to break their spirit he blames it on specific children he has a grudge against and punishes them for little reason. | |

Played straight in the DuckTales (1987) episode "Nothing to Fear" with Huey Dewey and Louie's hallucination of their teacher Mrs. Quackenbush as a fearsome monster intent on punishing them severely for not doing their homework (when the boys tell her that they actually got it done, the hallucination apologizes and disappears). Subverted in later episodes when the same teacher actually appears in person and is very sweet. | |

Captain Lancaster in Danny, the Champion of the World is a more realistic example. He wants to be called captain instead of headmaster (which was his rank during the war). He is described as spying on the children while rustling his moustache hairs in order to catch them on tiny mistakes. In the book, he hears Danny and his schoolboy friend talk while finishing an exercise. He immediately orders them to come forward and beats their hands with a very thin cane. Dahl based this teacher on one of his actual headmasters, a certain Captain Hardcastle. The incident described in the novel is almost word-for-word a real anecdote between Hardcastle and Dahl, described in Dahl's autobiography Boy. | |

Ms. Erlenemyer from Atomic Puppet. The biology skeleton in her classroom was the skeleton of the last kid to have gotten on her bad side, which leads to AP believing she's actually a supervillain. Long story short, she isn't and it gets her transformed into the evil psychic Queen Mindbender by an Eldritch Abomination, making her one of Atomic Puppet's most dangerous foes. | |

Persona 4 has Kinshiro Morooka, a.k.a "King Moron", a brutally conservative Jerkass who is convinced that all teenagers are horny troublemakers and that the the main character is nothing but trouble from the city. He treats his students rudely (putting the main character on his "Shit List" within minutes of meeting him if the protagonist talks back to him in response to being told that he's a loser), and has a tendency to get drunk on school field-trips. Still, his accusations of the Main Character being a horny bastard may actually have some truth behind it. That said, conversations with some students in the school reveal that he's dragged several girls into his office for "private talks"... in which he advises them on their career paths and urges them to follow their dreams. Morooka might be one of the subtler mean nice guys out there, since you'll never, ever find this out without talking to everybody. It's likely that he genuinely cares for his students, but really doesn't know how to properly show it. Even the main cast, who all hate him, admit that he really didn't deserve to die when Mitsuo murders him. And his replacement, Ms. Kashiwagi, is if anything an even worse Jerkass than him! | |

Persona 5 has gym teacher and Starter Villain Suguru Kamoshida, who uses his status as a former Olympic athlete to sexually prey upon the female students (to the point where one of his victims tries to kill herself) and physically abuse the male students (to the point of breaking former track star Ryuji Sakamoto's legs). His Palace shows that he truly thinks of himself as "king" of the school, and that it gives him every right to treat his "subjects" however he wants. No wonder the heroes decide that Heel–Face Brainwashing him is the only option, since the school's been actively covering up his crimes. | |

These allegations have followed WWE's farm leagues for years. Specifically, Jacqueline was accused of working trainees at Ohio Valley Wrestling to the point of injury while Ivory was said to be verbally demeaning and abusive. Bob Holly gained infamy for beating Tough Enough 3 winner Matt Cappotelli to a bloody pulp in training and later giving him a concussion(the internal bleeding was said to be accidental). Rip Rogers was known for beating wrestlers who messed up on OVW shows with a kendo stick afterwards(and he was a favorite of the students). Meanwhile, Deep South Wrestling trainer Bill DeMott was accused of physically abusing students and Kevin Matthews produced a picture on Twitter of DeMott over seeing a naked wrestler giving a stink face to a trainee. DeMott defended his actions by saying he was often acting on the orders of John Laurinaitis (yet it was Jim Cornette who was fired for slapping a trainee who got a fan hurt when Laurinaitis lectured him on liability issues of publicly traded companies). | |

Soul Eater: Franken Stein will beat up students for the purposes of training, throw scalpels at them, and speculate on experimenting upon one girl after pointing out his previous test subject was her father, and also his former Weapon. His sadistic tendencies are usually played for laughs, but in serious moments including his introduction, are genuinely creepy. And it's not too difficult to imagine him making good on any of his "dissection" threats. With that description, it's worth pointing out that Stein is a decent guy, who seems to genuinely care about his students. Well, okay, a guy who makes an effort to be decent because his less-than-decent compulsions scare even him. | |

In Zbeng!, one of the main characters, is this trope taken to the absurd: a green dress-wearing monster named Anuga Zaafani. In her own personal book, it is even showed how she drove to extremes Peter Parker (drove him up the wall), Clark Kent (green dress... guess what material), Garfield the Cat (decided to take a vacation in Thailand), and her day schedule consists of waking up, falling asleep, and eleven cases of shouting in between. In the end, where everybody is supposed to have their graves shown — she is alive and well among everyone else's graves. Naturally, she'll bury them all. | |

Michelle McCool was briefly a sexy teacher and a heel, who brought a wooden cane to the ring and fought dirty in matches. Like Matt Striker above, she was previously a middle school science teacher.

Harry Potter: The cruelty of Alan Rickman's Snape may be a little toned down from the books but he's still an unrelenting bully towards students that aren't in his house and by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is Nevile's worst fear. Imelda Staunton's performance as Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is properly horrifying. She uses blood quills, which cause whatever is being written with them to be carved into the hand of the writer, in her detentions, makes up increasingly strict and petty rules, is unabashed about her prejudices and nearly uses an unforgivable curse on Harry and Hermione. The Carrows may not get much screen time in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but the fact that they are sadists who are torturing students in detention and acting as Voldemort's enforcers at Hogwarts is still clearly communicated. |

The Gromble from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, who at one point forced two students to be meshed into the same body as a punishment for their bickering. He ate a student on-screen in one episode because the student accidentally disrupted his lecture by having to chase after his nose, which was running away on little legs. On the other hand, he doesn't let anyone else mess with his students, and he does have a few signs of caring for them. One episode hints that his mistreatment is him projecting his pain from the overly tight high-heeled shoes he insists on wearing. Another episode implies that cultivating such a fearsome reputation is what keeps the students in-line. |

Professor Calahan from Legally Blonde The Musical is unafraid to kick Elle out of class on the first day. Justified in that she didn't do the reading, but still. And he treats his TA like crap, and he teaches students that ethics shouldn't play into law. He gets better... until we find out he hits on interns... In the movie, the teacher who kicked Elle out was Professor Stromwell, who Elle initially saw as a Sadist Teacher (Emmett also said "she can really kick you in the balls"). Stromwell turns out to be a tough-but-fair Reasonable Authority Figure, though, and later gives Elle an inspirational talk about not giving up when Elle is seriously considering going home. |

In the 4th volume of The Sandman, "Season Of Mists", Lucifer closes down Hell, so all the damned are forced to wander other places in the universe, including Earth. One chapter focuses on a boy at a boarding school left there for the holidays when this happens. The students who died while at school and went to hell are all resurrected, as is an old headmaster who proceeds to openly torture and torment the student body using old-school punishments. He is literally a teacher from hell. To be fair, he's the only dead headmaster to come back to life, implying the others were nice enough to go Heaven, but even before the dead rose, the school was shown as a very depressing place. | |

Mr Tanner from The Vampire Diaries proves himself one in his thankfully short run of episodes. During his time, he openly insults students who don't know things and brings up personal tragedies in front of the class (Such as the death of Elena's parents), keeps files on students he doesn't like such as Jeremy, proves he doesn't know basic facts such as the end of The Korean War, bullies students and tells Stefan he hopes to see him hurt while playing football (Though to be fair, he did change his mind after seeing his skill). | |

Mr. Gilbert from The Inbetweeners goes between this and Apathetic Teacher. For the most part, he's clearly lost any and all enthusiasm he may have once had for his job and, barring incredibly cutting put-downs, generally if the students keep their heads down and behave themselves sufficiently to avoid causing too much trouble or bringing the school into disrepute he leaves them alone. However, if they manage to sufficiently get on his bad side, he tends to target them with Disproportionate Retribution and take active, malicious pleasure in any misfortunes they may encounter. And unfortunately for our protagonist Will, he managed to piss off Mr. Gilbert with quite literally the very first thing he said to him: | |

Subversion in Mr. Ratburn of Arthur: Ratburn is feared as the strictest and toughest teacher in the school, so his reputation lives up to the trope. However, he is an excellent teacher in spite of, or indeed because of his strictness, and several episodes feature him outside of school in order to humanize him. One episode revealed he had an even worse teacher, who was also very competent for the same reasons, when he was in school (he was taught Latin in 3rd grade!). When a Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher took his place one day, everyone wanted Mr. Ratburn back by the day's end. One episode featured an Academic Decathlon between the school's Third Grade classes. Ratburn's class won every single challenge. Not surprising to see as he is the only 3rd grade teacher who seems to actually teach the kids anything. |

Terence Rattigan's The Browning Version deconstructs this trope. The protagonist, Andrew Crocker-Harris, appears to be a stuffy, hateful bore who enjoys humiliating his students. Students despise him as the "Himmler of the lower fifth" and even his fellow teachers don't much care for him. But Crocker-Harris reveals his Hidden Depths as a brilliant but frustrated academic with a fractious private life, who's lost sight of why he went into teaching in the first place. | |

In one week-long series Paige's biology teacher Mr. Ting assigned 60 chapter of reading for a test the next day, thinking it would "allieviate the tension" of the torrential rainstorms they were having. This only got worse for Paige, even though you can't blame the rest on Ting; the storm caused a blackout that made the assignment an even greater nightmare. And the worst part of it? While she managed to complete the reading assignment, Ting had no access to his computer due to the blackout, and wasn't able to hold the test. (Meaning she had done it for nothing. While it technically wasn't his fault either, he gave the assignment in the first place...) | |

Kaiden's Biotics instructor in the first Mass Effect. A Drill Sergeant Nasty Turian who was on active duty during the first contact wars, he was extremely racist towards humans for humiliating the Turians during the first contact wars, enjoyed introducing himself to the young humans he was begrudgingly forced to teach as "The man who killed your parents" and his training involved forced overclocking of biotics with flawed first generation implants (which led to unpleasant effects like migraines, nosebleeds, and seizures), enacted extremely harsh punishments if they didn't (Kaiden mentions him breaking a little girl's arm for trying to drink water without using biotics) and was generally a horrible person. No tears were shed when Kaiden accidentally severed his spinal column and killed him during a fit of Power Incontinence that his abusive teaching caused, and the incident was even glazed over entirely once the humans in the council learned about his cruelty. | |

Being the asshole that he is, Snotlout in Prodigal Son is prone to make stupid decision after stupid decision and give bad advice (like forgoing the handiness of a shield and sending minors to fend for themselves against dragons). | |

This was actually an exaggerated version of a storyline that ran in the comic strip, where his teacher assigned Gulliver's Travels during Christmas break (not as long, but still way too advanced for grade school) and Charlie Brown didn't help matters by procrastinating. | |

Full Metal Panic!: Played for laughs with the gym teacher. He genuinely hates Sōsuke, but Sōsuke just sees him as a respectable Drill Sergeant Nasty. Whenever the teacher goes on a tirade against him, Sōsuke treats him like an officer, which he considers back-talk. When the gym teacher attempts to sabotage the students' bread sales, he runs afoul of Sōsuke's traps and gets sent to the hospital — but Sōsuke mistakenly interprets his symptoms as overwork and mentally wishes the teacher a speedy recovery. And Sōsuke's assumption that such sadistic malice is normal for a teacher makes him one as well. Just look at the way he trained the school's gentle, girly rugby team. Well, you can't say it didn't work... Considering that Sōsuke obtained his training techniques from Melissa Mao, and her "How to Abuse a Training Recruit" manual, one must qualify Mao as one as well. |

Mrs. Cruddletwat, Max Pritchard's teacher from Ennui GO! regularly insults and physically abuses her students and barely puts forth any effort in actually teaching them something. "Fraud" reveals that she's a subversion, as in she's not a teacher at all. She's actually a crazy squatter who pretended to be a teacher specifically to torture the students attending the school. Once Max's mom Bella and the principal find this out, she is promptly arrested. | |

Drake & Josh: Mrs. Hayfer is considered an overall nice teacher by Josh, but she often nitpicks at Drake for his poor performance, even going as far as to continuously say she hates him out loud. The most obvious example of how much she hates him would be in one episode where she asked him what language The Odyssey was in. Drake answers Greek. She says "Wrong," then asks another student who gives the exact same answer, which is right. She even said he was wrong on a rhetorical question! However, Drake is frequently a complete Jerkass. Mr. Roland, a chemistry teacher, is far more sadistic as he doesn't allow Josh to take the exam due to his tardiness, tells him that he will have a make-up test at next Saturday at 6 a.m., and marks him down one grade. Josh was late because of Drake and when Drake moves out, Mr. Roland treats him much better at the make-up exam and decides to revoke the grade punishment and Josh gets better. Drake living in the same house as Josh must have been why Josh was having bad days. On one occasion, Josh himself. When he tries to be a student teacher for Megan's class, the first homework assignment he gives? A science one with college-level textbooks that even the class's parents couldn't figure out. The next day, when he finds out none of them could do it, he punishes them. |

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide: Played for Laughs with Mr. Sweeney. In one episode, Ned asks Mr. Sweeney to explain how a science fair diorama should look. In response, Mr. Sweeney reaches behind his desk, takes out an elaborately-detailed diorama explaining why Ned is likely to get an "F" on his science fair project — and shows it to the whole class. However, he does soften up over time, with the eventual result being that Sweeney was only sadistic from Ned's point-of-view and Ned usually deserved the grades Sweeney gave him. Sweeney also subverts this trope in the Grand Finale, where he admits to Ned (who is hanging upside-down in a tree) that Ned was his favorite student and enjoyed his antics. And leaves him hanging in the tree. |

In the story Batman: Gothic, it's shown that Bruce had one of these growing up, named Mr. Winchester, as if his childhood wasn't messed up enough already. to most people, he appeared to simply be an extremely mean-spirited sadistic brute, who was eventually fired for some sort of "scandal." Bruce reveals however, that Mr. Winchester murdered a boy there, and it's eventually found out that he is the villain of the story, and made a Deal with the Devil to live forever, and has done all sorts of atrocities over the years. | |

Go Animate: Just as the parent characters frequently come off as sadistic in the "X Gets Grounded" videos, so do the teacher and principal characters. This can range from them holding back a student a grade just for getting a single math problem wrong, to holding races (usually swimming races) for their students just so they can suspend/expel the one student unlucky enough to come in last place, to torturing them in detention or getting them arrested or even killed for so much as causing a pin to drop in class. | |

Several examples in Gokusen, all of which are fairly realistic and Played for Drama; you've got a teacher that purposefully isolated a student he didn't like for no reason, a teacher that refused to give one student an education because the student was delinquent-ish... and then you have a teacher who is literally a sadist with a BDSM fetish and has a very disturbing obsession with one of the high school-aged protagonists... | |

Snape is an example of this, given how bad his mood is or if your name's Harry or Neville or Ron or, to a slightly lesser extent, Hermione (he seems to respect her intelligence) or, to a somewhat even lesser extent, anyone who is not a Slytherin. The fact that he indirectly orphaned Harry makes it even worse. Highlights include testing potions on Neville's pet (which, it should be pointed out, would have killed the toad if Hermione hadn't helped Neville) and verbally abusing him even outside the classroom. Harry and Neville find the OWL exams from Potions less stressful than a class, because Snape isn't overseeing them. Grand prize probably goes to when Draco and Harry duel during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Their curses rebound, causing Goyle and Hermione to get hit. Goyle is sent to the hospital wing, and points are taken off of Gryffindor. When Ron shows Snape that Hermione's teeth have grown like those of a beavers, he looks at the fifteen-year-old girl and says coolly, "I see no difference." But even he can't compete with... | |

Sue Sylvester from Glee. From her brutal yet efficient ways of training the 'Cheerios' cheerleading squad, to the way she throws things around and almost throws a kid out of a corridor when she's angry in one episode, you'd be hard pressed to find someone worse than her (Roald Dahl notwithstanding). Even then, admittedly, it's only done mainly for comedy purposes... Surprisingly enough she's a reasonable principal (with the exceptions of trying to disband football and fire Will. That she relents when she sees him as a very competent teacher). She even responds to the bullying in the school better than Figgins ever did, and does seem genuinely upset that she couldn't protect Kurt. She has her reasons for this - bullying someone for being different seems to be her own Berserk Button. Although she ruthlessly terrorizes the school, she is very much an equal-opportunity bully, and the kids know it. | |

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Vice Principal Nero, a Small Name, Big Ego type who mercilessly butchers the violin every night but considers himself to be a genius. He forces the students of Prufrock Preparatory School to attend six hour concerts, and punishment for not showing up is having to buy him a large bag of candy and watch him eat it. He also loves mimicking the Baudelaire siblings every chance he gets, forces them to live in a horrible little shack infested with crabs and fungus, and makes Sunny (a toddler) his secretary. Olaf as Coach Genghis, who purposefully makes the Baudelaires run laps all night in order for them to do poorly in class. Nero praises him as "the greatest gym teacher in the world" after Olaf praises his musical "genius". Subverted with Mr. Remora and Mrs. Bass, who are not evil so much as they are very, very bad teachers. Remora's class consists of him endlessly telling short, boring stories while eating bananas, and Bass is obsessed with measuring things. When they are forced to give the Baudelaires "special exams" for sleeping in class (which they studied for thanks to notes collected by Duncan and Isadora Quagmire), by the third question they realize Violet and Klaus are actually very smart students, and only continue the exam because of Nero. They ask Nero if they can give an extra hard exam to Carmelita Spats instead because she's so awful, and when Nero decides he's going to expel the Baudelaires anyway for skipping gym, Remora and Bass state it's not cheating if you're trying to make sure athletics don't affect your schoolwork. They aren't in a position to do anything since Nero is their boss, so they prove to be just as useless as the rest of the adults in the series. |

Persona: Persona 2 has Principal Hanya. He's a massive jackass who abuses his authority in very creative ways in order to ensure his power, and uses the city's powers to brainwash his students into believing he's the best. Except magic has a price, and he should have read the price tag... Persona 4 has Kinshiro Morooka, a.k.a "King Moron", a brutally conservative Jerkass who is convinced that all teenagers are horny troublemakers and that the the main character is nothing but trouble from the city. He treats his students rudely (putting the main character on his "Shit List" within minutes of meeting him if the protagonist talks back to him in response to being told that he's a loser), and has a tendency to get drunk on school field-trips. Still, his accusations of the Main Character being a horny bastard may actually have some truth behind it. That said, conversations with some students in the school reveal that he's dragged several girls into his office for "private talks"... in which he advises them on their career paths and urges them to follow their dreams. Morooka might be one of the subtler mean nice guys out there, since you'll never, ever find this out without talking to everybody. It's likely that he genuinely cares for his students, but really doesn't know how to properly show it. Even the main cast, who all hate him, admit that he really didn't deserve to die when Mitsuo murders him. And his replacement, Ms. Kashiwagi, is if anything an even worse Jerkass than him! Persona 5 has gym teacher and Starter Villain Suguru Kamoshida, who uses his status as a former Olympic athlete to sexually prey upon the female students (to the point where one of his victims tries to kill herself) and physically abuse the male students (to the point of breaking former track star Ryuji Sakamoto's legs). His Palace shows that he truly thinks of himself as "king" of the school, and that it gives him every right to treat his "subjects" however he wants. No wonder the heroes decide that Heel–Face Brainwashing him is the only option, since the school's been actively covering up his crimes. |

Recess: Miss Finster is a sadistic playground monitor, especially in season 1. This is only ever when she's inside the school, though. As Spinelli found out, she's actually a Cool Old Lady when she doesn't have to be an authority figure. It's also implied in several episodes that there's a mutual Friendly Enemies understanding between the teachers and children, with the former playing the antagonists. "The Library Kid" has her going into a panic when she sees the titular Library Kid in danger on the flagpole - confirming she would never want to see a child get hurt. Dr. Slicer, the replacement principal in the episode "Prickly is Leaving," is so cruel that he horrifies even Miss Finster. He also wants to make the cannon at the front of the school operational and plans to tear down the jungle gym to replace it with a guard tower. |

Kat from Sequential Art is a photographer by profession; she was once hired to take school photographs — and horrified to discover that the teacher who had put special care into humiliating her in fifth grade was the principal of the school. Their adversarial relationship was promptly renewed, and it's highly probable that Kat may have driven the woman to her fatal heart attack. Though considering that it was the teacher who did all the renewing of hostilities, up to and including trying to threaten Kat's job, Kat's satisfaction at the teacher's demise is fairly understandable. (Though the woman's current students were far more overjoyed.) To be specific, the most hostile thing Kat does when returning is giggle about how she's now taller than the teacher. The teacher, on the other hand, belittles Kat in front of Kat's own boss, mocks her for needing a supervisor, and then mocks her more when she finally starts doing the shoots without her boss present. And what were Kat's actions, which potentially caused the heart attack? She finally confronts the teacher, calls her out about her treatment, and declares that she'll put up with it no longer. |

A couple of the teachers in Daria: Ms. Barch hates all her male students, and gives them terrible grades. The unfairness of this is only slightly mitigated by the fact that often they deserve them. It is not for nothing that she is depicted as Xena the Warrior Princess in the show's closing credits. Mr. Demartino likes to see all his students suffer, but in his case, it's because he feels it's payback for the pain they put him through with their stupidity. However, he greatly fears Ms. Barch (she beats him up in more than one episode and, when given a paintball gun and permission to fire it, she expends an entire magazine on a cowering diMartino. It is revealed the real reason for her hatred of men is all the unresolved issues with her former husband - diMartino reminds her of him). In fairness, Demartino's students are so ignorant you could understand how they'd drive him off the deep end at times. He also acknowledges the good students and grades them appropriately. (Daria never seems to have problems getting As in his class.) He also takes genuine delight in correct (even if unorthodox) answers, as seen by Quinn giving a correct answer (though with the wrong logic) of what Manifest Destiny is at the end of Is It Fall Yet?. |

Deconstructed in The Great Brain. In the first book, boys' old teacher retires and is replaced by Mr. Standish, who paddles students over the slightest infraction (bare in mind, paddling was a common punishment in schools at the time). After Tom himself gets spanked, he decides to take revenge by setting him up to look like a closeted drinker and nearly gets him fired as a result. While it's firmly established that Tom went too far when the truth gets out, Mr. Standish does end up experiencing something of a Heel Realization, and eases up on the class. | |

Little Women has Mr. Davis, Amy's teacher at school, though he is more of a borderline example. He does whip Amy's hands for bringing pickled limes to school, a common punishment at the time, but the narration states the swats "weren't many or hard", as well as stating that if Amy had not acted so prideful, Mr. Davis would have let her off with a warning since she is one of his favorite students, as well as when Jo was sent to get Amy's things by Marmee, who decided to take Amy out of school for a while, he feels completely awful about the whole ordeal. His punishment and attitude afterwards varies depending on the adaptation; the 1933 and 1949 films have him make Amy stand on a platform with a slate reading "I am ashamed of myself" for drawing and unflattering caricature of him on her slate during class. In these versions, he is about to whip her hands after class, but has a change of heart and lets her go home. Other adaptations (including both the 1981 and 1987 anime series) keep the punishment in tact, though a few versions have him apologize to Marmee. Played straighter in the the 1994 film, where Amy says he believes that educating girls as is useless as bathing a cat, and the 2017 miniseries Mr. Davis is his most sadistic, since he pulls Amy up by one of her braids before he whips her hands hard enough they bleed, as well as feeling no guilt whatsoever until Jo gets Amy's things and scares him, even then he tries to justify whipping Amy. |

Malcolm in the Middle: Herkabe delights in verbally abusing the smartest students (generally because he himself was considered a brilliant child, and ended up a total disappointment to himself). Of course it's not surprising that an important character is a teacher who's a sadist — how many characters on that show aren't sadists? Reese's teacher Mr. Woodward from before Herkabe showed up. Malcolm figured it out when he proofread an F on one of Reese's papers that for once he didn't deserve, along with the teacher's "Kids like Reese..." speech. |

In the Erebus Sequence, Giancarlo (a maestro di spada, or sword instructor) is a complete Jerkass, particularly towards Lucien. He's pretty much open about wanting Lucien to fail as completely and permanently as possible, and uses Lucien's conscience against him during the final testing by ordering him to execute an unarmed man rather than give a real challenge. | |

Hell Girl follows a group of supernatural beings who can be "hired" to send one person bodily to Hell, at the cost of the contractors' soul upon death. Sadist Teachers are some of their more frequent victims, ranging from a literal sadist who felt sexual pleasure from humiliating one of her female students, to an extremely strict teacher who kept a notebook full of details about the students' misbehavior (which, it turns out, was actually blank). | |

Mr. Crocker from The Fairly OddParents. Besides his fairy-hunting obsession, he also takes a sadistic glee in handing out "F" grades to his students, and his favorite child to torment is none other than Timmy Turner. In The Movie, he actually manages to use magic to change reality and make himself Evil Overlord of a dystopian world. However, this is balanced out by making him one of the show's resident Butt Monkeys. One episode had a substitute teacher named Mrs. Sunshine who came across as being a Cool Teacher... until Timmy wishes her to be a permanent teacher, at which point she reveals she's actually Ms. Doombringer, a terrifyingly competent fairy hunter. As it turns out, she poses as a substitute teacher all the time, attempting to earn her students' trust as a Cool Teacher, knowing that if she was made a permanent teacher, it was because one of her students wished for it with their fairy godparent. As soon as the façade drops, she begins torturing her class to try to find out which student has a fairy godparent in an attempt to capture them. |

It's said that Sasaki killed a student named Hiromitsu Gompei who failed to impress Choshu during a training session, and years after, an elite wrestling prospect named Giant Ochiai died under suspicious circumstances in a dojo run by Choshu. In general, the NJPW Dojo has also been subject to allegations of abuse for years. | |

In the animated Peanuts New Year's special, Charlie Brown's elementary school teacher decides to give the kid War and Peace as a reading assignment. War And Peace. To a normal elementary school student. Over Christmas break no less. And from the looks of it, he's the only student in the class who was given that assignment. Not only that, but she gave Charlie Brown a D- despite his best efforts. Her reasoning was that no kid his age could have possibly read that whole book. She then proceeds to give him an even longer book. This was actually an exaggerated version of a storyline that ran in the comic strip, where his teacher assigned Gulliver's Travels during Christmas break (not as long, but still way too advanced for grade school) and Charlie Brown didn't help matters by procrastinating. |

Terry Taylor: His gimmick as the Red Rooster during the late 1980s WWF, a novice wrestler guided by his "teacher" … Bobby "the Brain" Heenan. In promos prior to Taylor's debut, Bobby Heenan boasted that he was such a great manager and teacher that he could turn a "mediocre" wrestler into a feared championship contender. Naturally, Heenan succeeded only in embarrassing Taylor, often yelling at him, belittling him in interviews (e.g., "Maybe he's not the fastest wrestler" or "He often doesn't hit hard enough," etc.) and at least once slapping him after he lost a match. Predictably, Taylor eventually realized he didn't need Heenan and began doing things his way, further frustrating "the Brain," and eventually, Taylor turned on his "teacher". | |

FoxTrot: In one week-long series Paige's biology teacher Mr. Ting assigned 60 chapter of reading for a test the next day, thinking it would "allieviate the tension" of the torrential rainstorms they were having. This only got worse for Paige, even though you can't blame the rest on Ting; the storm caused a blackout that made the assignment an even greater nightmare. And the worst part of it? While she managed to complete the reading assignment, Ting had no access to his computer due to the blackout, and wasn't able to hold the test. (Meaning she had done it for nothing. While it technically wasn't his fault either, he gave the assignment in the first place...) In another strip, he showed disappointment that Paige's lab reports were improving, claiming they were a source of entertainment for him. He seems a little more understanding in this strip, possibly because the cafeteria staff can be even more sadistic at times. In another strip, Paige's unnamed math teacher handed out the test sheets for the final exams dressed in a Grim Reaper costume. |

Ms. Bitters from Invader Zim is an extreme example. She's a Straw Nihilist who not only hates her students (especially Dib and Zim), but everyone and everything in the world. "Children, your performance was miserable. Your parents will all receive phone calls instructing them to love you less now." However, there's apparently one thing she won't subject her students to: the reason for why Valentines Day is now celebrated with meat gifts instead of cards. One could argue that she is the Only Sane Man and is well aware of how much of a Crapsack World it is. Her design is almost exactly the same as the teacher in Squee! (also by Jhonen Vasquez), who's just as sadistic, and intentionally teaches the students wrong information. There's also the popular theory that she's not even human, but rather a Humanoid Abomination. Word of God is that she wasn't hired by the school — they built it around her. |

Professor Mayakovsky of The Magicians walks a very wobbly line between this trope, Bunny-Ears Lawyer, and Stern Teacher. The lone instructor presiding over the dreaded fourth year of study, his first scene features him performing a Groin Attack on Quentin just to make a point, and soon after, the students are magically muted so they can't be distracted - a process that nearly drives them insane over time. Those who complete his grueling tasks are slapped in the face for doubting themselves, and that's not even getting into the humiliation of the shapeshifting lessons. And the final exam requires students to walk to the South Pole, naked. Turns out this isn't compulsory, but the students who participate are the only ones who earn Mayakovsky's hard-won respect. It's later revealed he's not allowed to leave Brakebills South, having been literally Reassigned to Antarctica following an affair with a student, and it's implied his sadism is due to a combination of bitterness and extreme isolation. | |

In El Goonish Shive, the science teacher (who hasn't actually been seen in a while) was shown to feel schadenfreude toward Elliot during the time Elliot was locked in a female form during the "Sister" arc. He mocked Elliot for thinking that his teachers really cared about their students education instead of just their salaries. Mr Raven starts out looking pretty crazy. He also refuses to believe Grace doesn't know what about the World Wars, and then, when he tries to make it up by saying she should be in a special class, refuses to believe she could have learned about WWII that quickly. It's also mentioned that being one of his "favourites" isn't a good thing; he's tougher on the students he likes because he expects more from them. But he will also fight to defend his students without hesitation, is apparently a decent guardian to Noah, helps Grace try to save a boar, and explains things patiently when they can't and is filled with recrimination about his role in Tedd's parents breaking up. He's really a Stern Teacher with enough personal baggage to comes across as a sadist if you don't know him. The whole initial incident boils down Stern Teacher Raven assuming Grace and Ellen are typical high school kids and them assuming he's typical high school teacher. Conversely, the math teacher offered a subversion — although he initially seemed like he was going to be one of these, giving a Ellen and Grace a hard time for their improbable coincidences, he quickly revealed he was actually fooling around and in fact turned out to be quite nice. |

It's clear by now that the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom loves the Ron the Death Eater trope. An infamous fic to take this trope is a surprising-not-Cupcakes-inspired fic entitled Cheerilee's Garden. In said fic, Cheerilee gets fed up with her class's behaviour, even questioning her Cutie Mark in the process. So, what does she do? Frackin' KILL them by, in this order, impaling them with spears, crushing them with a lead block, dissolving them in acid, setting them on fire, eaten alive by rats, impaled vampire-style with their own unicorn-horn, and drowned in their own friends blood. All of which masquerades as a school play. In the direct sequel called Scarlet Harvest, she does arguably worse things to the mane 6 and Spike. It's safe to assume she can be considered this and in the sequel, she can also be considered a Villain with Good Publicity, even more so than this trope by itself implies. How good is the publicity she has? Twilight gets blamed for her murders. | |

Wendi Richter named The Fabulous Moolah as such. In order to train with her, she had to pay a sizable entrance fee and also rent an apartment from her - and she had to work at Wendy's to pay for that in addition to her grueling training. Moolah would also encourage the trainees to make themselves sexually available to promoters, while also taking a large portion of their booking fees, which she continued to do while Wendi was working with WWF for a whilenote When Wendi finally appealed to Vince McMahon and got all her pay sent directly to her, Moolah tried to injure her in the next match they had together.. The kicker? According to Wendi, Moolah never trained the girls personally and just got her more experienced girls to do it. | |

In the Night Gallery episode "Deliveries in the Rear", a student at a surgical lecture is made woozy by the sight of a demonstration cadaver. The instructor's response is to make snarky quips about the corpse and the young man's distress until the unsettled student faints. | |

Little House on the Prairie: In the 1976 episode "Troublemaker", Miss Beadle is fired for her inability to control the older students (solely due to the influence of Mrs. Oleson). Miss Beadle is replaced by Hannibal Applewood, a mean, cruel headmaster who singles out Laura Ingalls as the school's bad seed after she is incorrectly blamed for a series of infractions for which other students were responsible, thanks to a completely false tip by Mrs. Oleson. Charles learns about "Mr. Crabapple" and his past and, after confronting Applewood about his demeanor, forces his resignation. Miss Beadle is returned to her job and the schoolchildren finally stand up to the school's true troublemakers. | |

Max's teacher in Where the Wild Things Are, who’s shown cheerfully explaining to a class of nine-year-olds how entropy reigns, the sun is dying, and everything is pretty much doomed in the end. An interesting example, as the sadism clearly isn’t intentional; the guy’s just doing his job and describing real aspects of astronomy, but he’s so oblivious that he doesn't seem to realize that maybe subject matter like that isn’t appropriate for a class of elementary schoolers. | |

Villains Don't Date Heroes!: Night Terror takes over a class on how to survive a super battle when you're a civilian. Since she's just there to draw out Fialux in her secret identity, Night Terror spends the entire time psychologically torturing the students by threatening them with all manner of very dangerous weapons and demonstrating how they could be killed in horrible ways. When CORVAC attacks the school, everyone in her class survives due to her training, which leads to the school hiring her to teach the class for real despite the fact that she still has no actual credentials (she only got the job in the first place due to mind controlling the one in charge of hiring). | |

Mr. Gaston from the Betsy-Tacy series, although most of it is in Betsy in Spite of Herself. He studied to be a science teacher but got stuck teaching English, and can't stand Betsy's flowery writing style, which he finds too hungup on details. It's even mentioned that he was alright to Betsy during her freshman year, but after a song she wrote for a school assembly becomes popular and is constantly sung in the school halls, he begins going out of his way to antagonize her in class and mock her work in front of the other students. | |

In Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes'' story arc, rejected Legion applicant Eyeful Ethel later joined the Justice League of Earth as a teacher at their satellite headquarters, "reeducating" Earth children about Superman's supposed human origins. While Ethel does not physically abuse any of her students, she takes a great amount of pleasure knowing that they will believe everything she tells them simply because she's their teacher, including lies about how the Martian Manhunter was an alien invader and that the Legion of Super-Heroes were alien terrorists. While not the most violent or powerful, Ethel's by far the worst member of the League due to the sadistic pleasure she takes in exploiting impressionable young children. | |

In Fortune Summoners Mr. Harnel is a pretty open version of this (much of his dialogue early in the game is gleefully thinking of how he can torment his students). Ms. Sophia is a more subtle version; she seems nicer, but still has a mean streak (one student had to be "rescued" from her by the headmaster and she picks Arche to answer a mathematics question because she was the only one who didn't put her hand up). | |

His punishment and attitude afterwards varies depending on the adaptation; the 1933 and 1949 films have him make Amy stand on a platform with a slate reading "I am ashamed of myself" for drawing and unflattering caricature of him on her slate during class. In these versions, he is about to whip her hands after class, but has a change of heart and lets her go home. Other adaptations (including both the 1981 and 1987 anime series) keep the punishment in tact, though a few versions have him apologize to Marmee. Played straighter in the the 1994 film, where Amy says he believes that educating girls as is useless as bathing a cat, and the 2017 miniseries Mr. Davis is his most sadistic, since he pulls Amy up by one of her braids before he whips her hands hard enough they bleed, as well as feeling no guilt whatsoever until Jo gets Amy's things and scares him, even then he tries to justify whipping Amy. | |

In Kekko Kamen, most teachers at Sparta Academy are this brought to extreme: while extremely qualified in their subjects, they take delight in tormenting the students, with the first chapter having one promising torture to anyone who'd get less than 90 in a surprise test-and then going through with it. This caused the school (supposedly the best in Japan) to have a high suicide rate among the students, prompting the arrival of Kekko Kamen to protect the kids and investigate the school for the police and the Ministry of Instruction, who have started wondering why the best high school in Japan has such a high student suicide rate, leading to the school eventually being shut down. | |

Mr./Mrs. Garrison of South Park sometimes slips into this trope, openly mocking his students if they get some question wrong. The rest of the time he's either just plain incompetent or trying to get the school to fire him so he can sue them as part of a get-rich-quick-scheme, not caring about the mental damage he might inflict on the children in the process through his lewd teachings. It doesn't help that most of the time, he's not even teaching an actual school curriculum, and instead focuses mostly on assorted pop culture gibberish. When Mrs. Garrison blew off teaching to go drink at a lesbian bar, she hired a group of illegal immigrants to do her job for her, and they did it better than she does. This goes even further in the episode The Death Camp of Tolerance, where Mr. Garrison hires a masochistic leatherman named Mr. Slave as the teacher's assistant, who would eventually become his boyfriend up until season 9, thus becoming a literal sadist teacher. |

Warrior Cats: Warriors has Brokentail, who punishes his apprentice by making him hang from a branch by his teeth. His crime? He was talking too much during training. Later in Yellowfang's Secret, he trains kits far too young who accidentally kill their former denmate, another kit. During Tigerclaw's exile from ThunderClan, he trains his group of former ShadowClan warriors with unsheathed claws so that they sustain injuries during their training. He and several others use this same method to train Dark Forest recruits, which leads to several cats being killed during training sessions. Even before this, when he was still seemingly one of ThunderClan's most honorable warriors, he ruthlessly bullied his apprentice Ravenpaw. |

Whiplash: Terence Fletcher is a disgustingly callous perfectionist who hurls bile at his students to push them past their limits. His methods work, but the mental scars they leave make it questionable if the skill is worth it. Some of the things that Fletcher has done to his students include racist and antisemitic comments aimed at his students, hurling chairs at them for being out of tempo and forcing them to play until their hands are raw with pain. The competition between band members is so bad that any mistake could cost someone their hard-earned position, to the point one of them forced themselves to play drums while barely out of a car accident. Another former student suffered so much from the abuse that they killed themselves. When Andrew's father finds out about the abuse, he gets Fletcher fired. | |

Eliza Jane Wilder, the idealistic but ineffectual new De Smet schoolmarm from the Little House books, whose pet was the Alpha Bitch Nellie Oleson, Laura's longtime rival. After Laura taunts Nellie with the fact that Mr. Oleson isn't on the school board and Laura's dad is, Nellie retaliates by convincing Miss Wilder that Laura is fomenting all the trouble in school because she thinks she's untouchable. Miss Wilder's growing spite, as the class' rebellion gets more and more open, eventually leads to her imposing a far too harsh punishment on Laura's sickly little sister Carrie for a minor offense (and even though another girl was equally guilty, Eliza Jane let her escape the punishment). Things eventually get so out-of-control that the school board is called in, and Miss Wilder takes the opportunity to triumphantly denounce Laura to her father... except that Laura, oblivious to any of this subtext, has actually been trying her best to discourage the mischief, and is stunned. We never do find out if Miss Wilder learns the truth, but apparently when she became Laura's sister-in-law a few years later their relationship was notably strained. Go figure. The first season of the TV series also had an episode that featured a sadistic substitute teacher. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Principal Snyder. He does explain why he's a teacher, despite hating kids: "Somebody has to keep an eye on them." An example of an Aborted Arc, as the end of an episode reveals he's among Mayor Wilkins' inner circle and is aware of the existence of vampires. The Season 2 finale also shows him reacting more with glee that Buffy is wanted by the police rather than nervous of being in the presence of a mundane juvenile delinquent. After she was cleared of all charges, Snyder still refused to let her back into Sunnydale High simply because he was glad that she was gone, but the school board, along with physical and professional threats from Giles, forced him to change his mind. However, he's returned to standard Sadist Teacher when Season 3 begins, and is as astonished as anyone when the Mayor ascends. | |

The school staff from Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts seems to be universally mean and strict if not just lazy. They fail Himeji on her placement exam despite the fact that she was having a medical emergency. They blatantly insult the students of Class F, calling them idiots to their faces. No one ever seems to break it up whenever Minami beats the everloving crap out of Akihisa. How these people became educators is anyone's guess. Surprisingly, Mr. Nishimura (who is definitely one of these when he takes the students away for remedial lessons) is a Reasonable Authority Figure as well. | |

Hey Arnold! averts this with most teachers on the show, but plays it straight with Lieutenant Major Goose from the episode "New Teacher". He is a former drill sergeant who, for some reason, decided to be a teacher. Principal Wartz hires him to teach and restore order to Arnold's class after they scare Mr. Simmons away with their bad behavior. Lieutenant Major Goose runs the class like the military. When he sends Curly to the corner for dropping a pencil and Helga and Harold to two of the other corners for laughing, he makes Stinky stand in the remaining corner for no reason other than symmetry. Principal Wartz himself has his moments of being cranky, explosively ill-tempered and/or unreasonable, particularly later in the run of the show. It got to the point that it was brought to attention by the characters in the episode "Principal Simmons". |

Family Guy In the episode "The Finer Strings", Mr. Washee Washee tortures Peter by placing a hot iron onto his skin thinking it'll somehow accelerate his improvement in playing the violin. In "Friends of Peter G.", Stewie mentions that his new daycare teacher deactivates the security camera and beats her students. A few episodes later in "Be Careful What You Fish For", she's depicted as being a cross between this and Apathetic Teacher who isn't around to stop the kids from getting injured (or in the case of one unfortunate boy, abducted) and pulled Stewie's arm out of his socket when he protested her not even giving them a proper lunch. Brian was completely useless to help until it turned out she already had a boyfriend, after which he immediately turned her over to the police. |

A filler episode prior to the Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Z had Chi-Chi hire a tutor for Gohan named Mr. Shu, who at first admits to being quite strict... but as soon as Chi-Chi is out of the room, shows his true colors as a sadistic asshole by hitting Gohan with a whip at the slightest mistake and openly and relentlessly insulting Goku, dismissing him as a "brainless brute" and a deadbeat parent. When Gohan stands up to him and damages his whip in the process, Mr. Shu quickly calls in Chi-Chi and makes Gohan seem like the bad guy... before declaring that Goku's abandonment drove Gohan to such violence and proceeding to whip Gohan across the face hard enough to draw blood right in front of Chi-Chi. Bad idea. Chi-Chi promptly goes Mama Bear on his ass, throwing him out the window and chasing him off of their property all while screaming at him never to come back. | |

The unnamed Head of Experiment House in The Silver Chair, inspired by C.S. Lewis' own unfortunate experience with his first headmaster. Though interestingly in this case, the Head's cruelty is a case of neglectful lack of discipline that coddles a Gang of Bullies who take over the school and terrorize the other students. The Head indulges the bullies because they are "interesting cases." (At the end, when the other teachers finally realize the Head is incompetent at her job, they get her a promotion to the Ministry of Education. And when she turns out to be also useless at that, she eventually gets into Parliament.) | |

Hank Zipzer: Ms. Adolf is Hank's teacher who despises even the concept of anything fun. She is very harsh towards students in her class who don't understand the lessons, like Hank. | |

In Avencast: Rise of the Mage, three senior teachers at Avencast Academy give the player character tasks to complete before they approve his graduation. Two assign easy tasks. Della Gustera sends him to pacify a huge crypt full of hostile undead that the wrathful spirit of the Academy founder reanimated, then threatens to withhold his approval anyway for destroying the founder's body in the course of their Boss Battle. Guess he really hates people who sleep in class. | |

Most, if not all, of the teachers in the Captain Underpants books go out of their way to make George and Harold's lives miserable. The most notable ones are Mr. Krupp, the principal, who blackmailed the two into basically becoming his slaves in the first book, and Ms. Ribble, George and Harold's teacher, who started out by forcing her students to perform in a lousy retirement party (including having one kid stand in a corner for making his picture too happy), planned on failing George and Harold for a small prank gone wrong, and then undergoes a full Face–Heel Turn after becoming the super-villain Wedgie Woman. At the end, George and Harold hypnotise her into being nice, which sticks (Until the 12th book that is. Ms. Ribble goes back to being a jerkass for unexplained reasons). | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Principal Kraft will give out detention slips at the literal drop of a hat. An episode had the one-off character Mr. Rockwell, a rude and incredibly sadistic math teacher (for example, after warning students that anyone who was late to the test by even a second would fail, he shuts the door and taunts a student who was one second late due to helping a fellow student in a wheelchair). Sabrina asks her aunts for help and they eventually get him to stand trial in an Other Realm court, where he claims he hates teaching and is only doing it to raise money for his computer start-up. Rockwell is then sentenced to his worst nightmare: remaining a math teacher for the rest of his life. When Sabrina complains about the effect this ends up having on those unfortunate enough to be his students, Zelda handwaves it by claiming he teaches them a "valuable lesson" that some people are just jerks. Yay. |

Mr. Messerschmidt from Phil of the Future delighted in making the students miserable. He once administered a test, the Omicron Gambit, that's so difficult no one has ever passed. Even opening the test booklet is impossible: | |

Mr. Iwamoto and Mr. Akashi from Yu Yu Hakusho. The latter forces Kuwabara and his friends to swear off violence under threat of Okubo losing permission for his job, which he needs to provide for his family. When the students keep their end of the bargain, he forces them to score above 50% on the next test. When even Kuwabara succeeds, he alters his test score to provoke him to hit him and break the agreement, but he relents with Yusuke's help. Mr. Iwamoto takes items out of students' bags to frame Yusuke, and keeps one student's pen for himself. Mr. Akashi isn't seen after Takanaka catches him altering Kuwabara's test score, so his ass probably was fired. When Yusuke dies in the first episode of the series, these two actually discuss how happy they are that they don't have to put up with him anymore. At his funeral. Iwamoto's sadistic tendencies really come out when he's possessed by a Makai insect and tries to kill Keiko for simply being associated with Yusuke. Two other teachers in a manga-only arc did their utmost to set their prize pupils at each other's throats in a competition to see who in their school would be able to produce the one student who would go on to a prestigious high school. The fact that the girls in question had been friends before they did this didn't matter to them. In the end, the girls decided that their friendship was more important than the egos of all involved and selected a slightly less prestigious high school that they could both attend. |

In Mysterious Ways: A Divine Comedy, Ms. Slaphappy is well-known for slapping (read "assualting") students with a ruler whenever she thinks they're sleeping, talking back, not paying attention, or just not doing well in class. Made way worse because it's a school for angels, and the class is all about learning to meditate and use magic, both of which look like sleep and are hard to do when under attack, leading to a Catch-22. | |

Suspiria (both versions) revolve around a prestigious ballet academy, where it's revealed that all the teachers are part of a coven of witches. Miss Tanner in particular seems to be especially stern, forcing Suzy to perform a dance when she's clearly ill (and the result is that she faints there in class). Considering the reason Suzy is sick in the first place is that the witches put a spell on her, this seems like a Kick the Dog moment. | |
