For the Evulz? Not on their watch.
Unlike a Sadist Teacher, the Stern Teacher is always "tough but fair": a person who's got high expectations but is ultimately a Reasonable Authority Figure. The students might not be too fond of them personally, but they always respect them in the end and often achieve the best results in education (which does make it Truth in Television).
While cold and aloof at first glance, a stern teacher truly loves and cares for their students deep beneath and genuinely wants them to succeed in the best way possible at life. Constructive Criticism is their stock in trade.
Teachers of this type are firm believers of You Are Better Than You Think You Are, but, befitting their just-yet-harsh nature, they will always use the more firm version of the aforementioned trope. Then again, they're likely to be a Fun-Hating Confiscating Adult; woe betide the Class Clown who tries to get away with goofing off in their classroom.
They'll often be on good terms with the Cool Teacher. The opposing teacher types will usually butt heads over their vastly differing philosophies (whomever is proven right depends on the work, if there's a right answer at all) but there's often a mutual appreciation between the two in understanding that the other cares deeply for their students, and depending on later developments in their relationship with their students, may even be seed as a Cool Teacher themselves. On the other hand, they're often a Foil to the Enthusiastic Newbie Teacher, who they will see as a hopeless Wide-Eyed Idealist and who may see them as The Killjoy. (The Newbie will probably earn their respect eventually, but only once they've proven they actually are serious about education.)
Expect them to strongly disapprove of the lack of professionalism or care displayed by the Apathetic Teacher, and to be staunchly opposed to the behavior of the Sadist Teacher and Evil Teacher. Opposition to the latter two in particular often acts as an Establishing Character Moment demonstrating that this teacher really does care about their students. On the other hand, they're likely to roll their eyes at the Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher and view them as an annoyance. And they loathe a Hippie Teacher. May end up a Tormented Teacher.
Interestingly, in cases where a good teacher is forced by circumstances to teach their own child or other younger relative, they will adopt this persona to a greater degree with their relative than with the other kids, as an (over) reaction to the Embarrassing Relative Teacher stereotype.
Dmitry Vladimirovich Beklemishev, a near-legendary figure at MIPT (roughly, the Russian equivalent of MIT) once said in an interview that he tried many personas on during his long teaching career and found this one to be the most effective for the purpose of doing a superb job.
Sergeant Rock is the military version of this. Compare also with Tough Love. This kind of teacher is likely to have a Teacher's Unfavorite Student. Having a Teacher's Pet is extremely unlikely but not unheard of.

It's Not the End of the World: Mrs. Singer, Karen's teacher, is one — she won't loan money to kids who forget their milk money and she gave Karen a D on a book report for which Karen had obviously not read the book. Remembering what a Cool Teacher Mrs. Singer used to be before she got married and looking at her parents' relationship, Karen decides it's getting married that made Mrs. Singer Take A Level In Jerkass and vows to never get married.

The Legendary Spider Man: Peter as a new Spider Mentor takes this as his initial tact with Miles and Anya. Not entirely trusting of a new spider hero who he's never interacted with before. And very frank about the dangers the life of a superhero entails. But, once he's seen that they're willing to put in the work and can actually start holding their own, he treats them like younger siblings and truly believes in bringing them into the fold.
Julia Carpenter also makes this tact with Gwen Stacy. She wasn't as hard on Peter due to him needing his self confidence built up, but with Gwen she started being a bit sharper so to remind her that becoming a hero is no easy feat. But, she also believed in the great destiny due for The Ghost Spider, and was quick to give praise as she improved.

Hardscrabble from Monsters University, is a Stern Head Dean. She expressed a great deal of Tough Love to the lead characters, mostly because she didn't believe in their potential. However, in the ending, she tells them that while she has to expel them for their antics, they did manage to pleasantly surprise her and hopes that they continue doing so.

Lyrical Nanoha:
The title character of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Justified, since she's essentially a drill sergeant who habitually makes friends by beating the tar out of them.
Vita's a better example. While Nanoha balances a grueling training regimen with her cheerful, affable nature, (even letting the recruits call her by her first name) Vita, by her own admission, hardly ever compliments the students and is quite quick to berate them for their mistakes or what she sees as stupidity, but at the same time, cares deeply for their development and is described as kind at heart. Unforgettable is how she verbally trashes Teana after trying something way too dangerous that would almost have hurt her partner Subaru.

Dr. Curt Connors in Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light teaches classes that are highly sought after by Empire State University students because of how well he explains the material and how good an instructor he is. However, he also has high expectations of his classes and isn't shy about telling students when he thinks they aren't applying themselves. Mary Jane Watson runs into this problem when her Triple Shifter responsibilities keep her from studying as much as she wants. On the other hand, once she organizes things better and can focus more on her studies, she does much better and Dr. Connors praises her improved effort.

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Ensi Hotakainen's brief appearance in a flash-back has her forbidding a young Lalli that she's taking with her for training for the first time from touching her rifle, and threatening to leave him back if he does anything without her explicit permission. Since she's teaching him magic and scouting for fast-moving monsters, the strong discipline is likely to be the best chance she has to keep Lalli alive during his training.

Jupiter-Men: As the only one on the team with actual experience as a Star Guardian, it falls to Nathan to train the others to get them in fighting shape. He's tough on all of his teammates, Quintin and Jackie especially, because of the enormity of their duties. But this is also Deconstructed, as while Nathan means well, his Workaholic attitude and inability to dole out praise for their efforts results strains his relationship with them. The chaos of Episodes 31-33 happens because the other Jupiter-Men don't want to look to him for guidance unless they have to because they know he'll chew them out.

RWBY:
Glynda Goodwitch. Blunt and direct to her students and even her boss, any praise she gives you will likely be followed by some... constructive criticism.
Bartholomew Oobleck may buzz around history like a hummingbird while drinking a cup of coffee— but don't screw around in his class. He will not be happy.
Winter turns out to be this to Weiss. She Dope Slaps Weiss when she feels her younger sister is being silly, and in Weiss' Volume 5 trailer, she tests Weiss by throwing a horde of summoned Beowolves at her and then disarming her with a blast of ice; she only stops the training when Weiss is pinned to the floor, visibly terrified and cries out for Winter to stop, then steps in and coldly admonishes Weiss and reminds her that she won't always be around to save her; a telling contrast when compared to Yang's trailer, where she saves Ruby from a huge Grimm and lovingly tells her that she'll always be there for her little sister.

Harry Potter:
Minerva McGonagall is so strict that she tends to subtract more points from her own students when they do wrong because she holds them to higher standards. She's also so beloved that Harry is able to summon up the hatred necessary to perform the Cruciatus Curse when Amycus Carrow spits in her face, which is something he couldn't even do when his own father-figure was killed.
Madame Hooch is another, mostly forgotten example. As her subject (broom-flying) is so dangerous, the penalty for breaking rules in her class is expulsion. Not point loss or detention. Expulsion.
Depending on the student, Severus Snape varies from "stern" to "bully". He is fair but still strict towards Slytherins, a bit meaner to Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, nearly falls over into Sadist Teacher for Gryffindors, and bloody well swan-dives off into the black wherever Harry, Hermione, Neville, or Ron are concerned.

Several teachers at Whateley Academy in the Whateley Universe. Mr. Ramirez, who teaches intro Spanish; Dr. Yablonsky, who teaches the lab for Powers Theory and has been likened to a forcibly-retired Batman as a teacher; ... All these people were probably really tough superheroes in their prime. The martial arts teachers, too, especially Ito-sensei, who seems to be one of those teachers that really pushes his students' limits. And he's a Badass Normal who can kick most of his superpowered students' asses.

Susan Sto Helit from the Discworld novels becomes one of these in Thief of Time, contrasting highly with the wishy-washy other teachers at Madame Frout's school. Having cool powers probably helps.
Teachers at the Assassins' Guild School, with the exception of the odd sadist and the hapless Mr Lamister, tend to fall into this category. Miss Alice Band, who sends her disciplinary cases out to target Sam Vimes and thereby learn humility, is a typical example.

Gouri-sensei from Torako, Anmari Kowashicha Dame da yo is a teacher in a Dustbin School full of delinquents, so it's no surprise that he's strict. Yet, even as he opens his classes with things like "Sit down, fuckers!" and openly calls his students morons, he acknowledges that there are serious students among them and when Torako tells him I Just Want to Have Friends, he tries to help by suggesting she join a club. When Torako's Lethal Klutz tendencies turn that into a massive failure, Gouri makes the Pet Raising club take her on threat of disbandment. That said, he is accused, not entirely inaccurately, of foisting Torako on someone else after the failures before.

Henry Henderson from Spy X Family starts off as one with having expectations of potential students and their families, to the point of them becoming unreasonable. He insists on every student to retain a degree of elegancy to themselves, even the youngest classes, and keeps them in line. He does end up mellowing out and becoming a well-liked Cool Teacher by his students, retaining the sternness in expecting them to still behave in ways that match the prestige of Eden College, but can be counted on to remain fair to everyone.

One of the teachers in Azumanga Daioh is this kind of teacher, scolding the entire class for not doing their homework, but deciding to go easy on Chiyo-chan because she is younger and obviously scared by his style of teaching. He only appears once, leaving Yukari, Nyamo, and Kimura to be the main three teachers in focus during the show.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Benno and Ferdinand, Myne's mentors for the merchant trade and priesthood respectively, are very strict to her. This is because she will otherwise get eaten up alive by merchants trying to get the most out of her for a minimal cost to themselves. In the priesthood, meanwhile, the higher rungs are made out of the youngest and bastard children of Decadent Court style nobles and the lower rungs of orphans who depend on what resources the higher rungs are willing to spare them to survive, resulting in a quite strict pecking order.

Legally Blonde: Professor Stromwell, the teacher in Elle's first class at Harvard Law, is incredibly strict and intimidating. She throws Elle out of the class after berating her for not being aware of the assigned reading. Emmett admits to Elle that when he took Stromwell's class he once cried in his room because she was so harsh on him. Despite her tough methods she's actually a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who encourages Elle not to quit and in the Distant Epilogue gives her a glowing introduction at graduation.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Kaguya had a very harsh upbringing where even the smallest of mistakes were met with physical punishment. She follows a similar ethos when she takes Ishigami under her wing (to the point that he thought she was trying to torture him during their first study session), though the primary difference between her and her own tutors is that she actually has his best interests at heart and is quick to reward him when his hard work pays off.

Master Pakku is this to all of his students.
So are Toph and Zuko to Aang, on the latter's earthbending and firebending training. Which really helps a lot since Aang has a tendency to shirk from his training to goof around, and these two are the best ones who can make him take training seriously efficiently and effectively in order to prepare him for the Final Battle against Ozai.
The Fire Nation schoolteacher from "The Headband" will send you to the salt mines if you misbehave but that is not his goal. His goal is to create bright and patriotic students. Sadly, what they're teaching is pure propaganda thanks to the militaristic rule of Fire Nation.

Doraemon: Mr. S is a strict teacher who often punishes Noby for failing his tests, being late to school, or forgetting his homework which range from standing in the hallway to sweeping the classroom after-school. The Running Gag is extended to the point that if Noby simply meets the teacher in the streets, usually during holidays, Mr. S will have Noby admonished for his lack of school performance.
Defied in "Soap Bubbles". When Noby sees Mr. S, he realizes that Mr. S will be stern about his assignments. Noby defies this by using the Soap Bubble Straw to make Mr. S sad and willing to take the blame.

Nanako Kuroi from Lucky Star fits the stern but fair type: she understands what it's like to be a student, but she still takes her duties as a teacher seriously. This is exemplified by her relationship with Konata, her most problematic student; she's always quick to chastise Konata for various misdemeanors such as being late, making up lame excuses, falling asleep in class or goofing off online instead of studying and/or resting during schooldays, sometimes using corporal punishment to set her straight. Despite this, she does care about her students getting a good education and is generally on friendly terms with the main characters, even Konata.

Arthur:
Mr. Ratburn is one of these, though the kids initially believe he's a Sadist Teacher due to several overblown rumors about him. While he tends to be strict and a bit too obsessed with handing out lots of homework, it's because he genuinely cares about giving his students a good education rather than being malicious. Several episodes of the show, most notably the one where his sister, a Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher, substitutes for him, show how having a stern teacher can (sometimes) be a good thing.
Dr. Fugue, Arthur's piano teacher, is also thought as a Sadist Teacher but turns out to be this trope instead; while he's rather strict when it comes to teaching music, it's clear that he knows his stuff and simply wants to pass it on to his students. It shows again when he teaches Arthur's music class in "Tipping the Scales" and he drills the students hard for their upcoming concert, but in the end encourages them to enjoy performing.

Raine Sage in Tales of Symphonia is noted for being cool, strict, and practical, and even smacking her students around when they're being particularly stupid.

Ms. Kwan from Degrassi: The Next Generation fits this role. She's very stern, not letting any talking in the class go uninterrupted (her interjections are sometimes humiliating), taking Spinner's Walkman from him (and breaking it in the process), and other similar things. Spinner and Jimmy grow tired of it in Season 1 and play a series of pranks that escalate quickly and end with Ms. Kwan taking a leave of absence. Eventually the two learn that her husband was very sick at the time, and come to realize that even their teachers are humans. Ms. Kwan and Spinner have a friendly relationship after she returns that lasts the rest of the series (even after Spinner is forced to retake her class). As time goes on, we discover that, despite her stern nature, she cares about her students very much and often is quite lenient, bending the rules to allow students extensions or do-overs quite often. Plus, her class is very creative and involves much creative writing and performing plays and scripts.
It looks as though "Snake" Simpson has been pushed into being this in Season 10 by students' behavior in the first couple of months of his principalship. Hate-crime assault, a spiralling vendetta leading uncomfortably close to attempted murder, and near-prostitution and rape (the last three on the same night) will do that.

Drake & Josh
Mrs. Hayfer can be this and Sadist Teacher. She's is very kind to Josh who is a good student, but treats Drake with enormous contempt for his lazy behavior, and openly dislikes him.
Mr. Roland is an extremely strict chemistry teacher who will lock you out of class if you are even a second late. When Drake made Josh late for a test, he didn't even care for Josh's excuses and told him he would take the test on a weekend and be marked down a letter grade. However, when Josh completely aces the test, he doesn't mark him down. And despite not caring about Drake's personal problems, he lets Josh talk his problems out with Drake after he reaches his breaking point.

Prof. Loftus in Doctor in the House has a strict, no-nonsense approach to teaching medicine, as he takes it very seriously and demands that anyone planning to become a doctor do likewise. In the episode "It's All Go..." he paralyses nervous student Michael Upton with terror by shouting that if he cannot answer an anatomy question correctly, his (imaginary) patient will bleed to death in 30 seconds. However, he recognises talent when he sees it, and privately admits to one of Upton's fellow students that he is so hard on him to make him rise to the challenges of becoming a doctor, if only to show him up.

In the Channel 4 historical reality show That'll Teach 'Em, all the teachers are like this, as per the 1950s/1960s setting, although Dr. Szydlo, Dr Wilde and Matron are distinctly less so.

Abbott Elementary:
Barbara is old-school and has Seen It All, and her students don't dare act up while she's around. However, she's very fair, and will always go the extra mile to help a kid who's in crisis. Despite her strict nature, most of her students absolutely love her.
Melissa is hotheaded and will put the fear of God into students and parents alike, but very clearly knows where the line is. She takes her job very seriously and wants the kids to learn and have fun, and is shocked when another teacher at Abbott actually lays hands on a student, calling it the one thing a teacher absolutely cannot do.
Gregory is strict and humorless with his students, and sometimes takes this trope too far in that he has no idea how to connect with them. He's dedicated to teaching them and keeping them safe, but has no idea how to manage them having emotional outbursts and getting off-topic, as little kids are wont to do. A large part of his Character Development is learning how to loosen up and make learning fun once in a while.

Subverted in Recess, as Miss Finster is a stern playground monitor/administrative assistant, most notably supervising the kids out at recess, frequently enforcing the rules and calling them "hooligans." She's even somewhat of a Sadist Teacher in this position in the first season. But in the Grand Finale movie Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade, Miss Finster actually becomes the main kids' fifth grade teacher (after the teacher they were supposed to have suddenly transfers out), and thus plays this trope straight, assigning the kids lots of tests and homework. Understandably, a random boy in the class bursts into tears at the thought of having Miss Finster as a teacher for the whole school year. However, it's shown on several occasions of the show that she does care for the kids despite her gruff exterior; even during her tenure as the main kids' fifth grade teacher, she maintains a fair mindset towards them.

My Hero Academia:
Shota Aizawa, aka "Eraser Head", one of the pro heroes teaching at UA Academy. Initially played off as a Sadist Teacher who threatens under-performing students with expulsion, he is actually a very fair mentor who nonetheless will chew out any pupil who steps out of line. It turns out that while he expelled the class he had before Class 1-A, he immediately re-enrolled them as a Scare 'Em Straight move. However, during the Hideout Raid Arc, after a handful of his students go to rescue Bakugo from the League Of Villains against his orders he asserts that if not for the dire circumstances they were currently in he would've expelled the entire class.
Endeavor minces no words when mentoring interns and sidekicks under his care, expecting them to keep up with him no matter what and not accepting any excuses for poor performance because people's lives are on the line. But any advice he does give is incredibly helpful and insightful thanks to his experience and own hellish training to reach his current point.

Nozomu Itoshiki of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei. Once you get past the fact that he's so depressed and suicidal. He can act harsh sometimes but it's never because he bears any malice towards his class, he just wants them to understand the bleakness of the real world. Also, per the trope, he's loved (sometimes a bit too much) by all of his students (except Kaere... and that's only halfway, since Kaere's Split Personality, Kaede, is in love with him too).

Austria of Hetalia: Axis Powers was one of these, particularly towards Chibitalia, giving "her" plenty of hard work to do. But Austria isn't all that bad, as he did allow Chibitalia a day off when "her" first love Holy Roman Empire had left and he saw that Chibitalia had tears in "her" eyes... and willingly took up "her" share of work.

Final Fantasy:
Instructor Aki in Final Fantasy VIII will lower a SeeD's rank when they're caught committing an offense within Balamb Garden. There's a reason why most players would miss him the entire game. Slightly subverted in that nobody likes him.
Serah becomes one between Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2, at least that's how she's described by the kids of New Bodhum. You actually get to see her display a bit of this during the story, where she gives a stern lecture to miniflan after beating them in battle in the Sunleth Waterscape 400 AF.

The World According To Humphrey: Mrs. Brisbane disciplines her students much more sternly than Ms. Mac, not tolerating any troublemaking in her class and lamenting that she has to keep an eye on Humphrey on top of everything. For this, Humphrey hates her and thinks she's too mean. However, he eventually sees that she genuinely cares for the students, and when she keeps them inside for recess, it's because she wants to talk with them and figure out how to solve their behavioral problems. She also softens up on Humphrey over time when she sees the positive impact he has on her class and even her own family.

Himuro Reiichi in Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1 is very stern indeed - in addition to being the protagonist's homeroom and math teacher, he's also the advisor of the school's brass band, and where any other club will allow you to miss two mandatory practices, Himuro will kick you out if you miss even one. True to the trope, though, he's also genuinely committed to helping his students learn and takes real pleasure in seeing them succeed, which is one of the reasons (the other being his good looks and sexy voice) that he's so popular at Habataki High School in spite of his strictness.

Call of the Night:
Yamori's homeroom teacher, Yoshihiko Zawa, comes off as the "no fun allowed" teacher when a student asks him, in the middle of class, if he has a girlfriend; Zawa scolds the girl for not only asking a question irrelevant to the lesson, but also for wasting his time and not even bothering to pay attention. However, when Yamori meets him one night after he's started to skip school, he gets to know Zawa on a more personal level and learns that he's far more affable than he gave him credit for: Zawa not only offers to put Yamori up to date with the schoolwork he's missed if he ever decides to go back to school, he also realized that Yamori was forcing himself to act like an honors student and expresses relief that he no longer does. He also tries to advice Seri to lead a proper life when he comes under the impression that she's a highschooler out at night; once Seri clarifies that she's only wearing the uniform and that she's not actually in high school, Zawa drops the subject and retorts that if that's the case then it's fine.
Niko works as a teacher at a night school, and is shown to take her job seriously. She constantly encourages her students to put in the effort and to make efficient use of their time while being tactful about their circumstances. When Yamori and Nazuna run into her while she's at work, she encourages the duo to join the class in order to help Nazuna with her soul-searching.

Prince Nigel Haldane, Duke of Carthmoor in the Deryni novels of Katherine Kurtz. The "Iron Duke" trains the pages in the royal household, and he's generally called "tough but fair". With pages in a royal hunting party in Deryni Rising: "No, no, no," Nigel was saying. "If you ever address an earl simply as 'Sir' in public, he'll have your head, and I won't blame him. And you must always remember that a bishop is 'Your Excellency.' Now, Jatham, how would you address a prince of the royal blood?" In The King's Justice, he's shown training two young pages in the rudiments of riding, catching one boy by his tunic and belt when he falls and putting him back on the warhorse: "They [Kelson, Morgan, and Dhugal] could not hear what Nigel said to the lad, though his words brought an immediate flush of scarlet to the downy cheeks."

Governess Miss Minton from Journey to the River Sea is the embodiment of this trope. When she first meets protagonist Maia, she tells her the story of how she broke her umbrella on the back of a boy. When asked why, she explains that he tortured a puppy. Maia agrees that he had it coming, and they become good friends, as Maia is eager to learn, and doesn't protest (much) against Miss Minton's insistence that she stick to her learning routine even while seasick on a ship.

My World… and Welcome to It: Lydia's teacher Miss Skidmore qualifies, at times veering towards Sadistic Teacher status.
In "Man Against the World," she makes Lydia write "I am a liar" on the blackboard 200 times when she submits John's fanciful re-imagining of the surrender at Appomattox in class to fulfill an assignment, one in which a drunken Ulysses S. Grant surrenders to Robert E. Lee instead of the other way around. She furthermore comes to the Monroe home to heatedly inform Ellen and John about this transgression.
"The Disenchanted" sees her refusing to change seating in class in order to keep the boy sitting behind Lydia from distracting her until John comes to school to call her out on it. She angrily stonewalls John while they talk, but later relents when she returns to the classroom. It's unclear if Miss Skidmore was unsympathetic towards Lydia or unaware of the issue, but neither possibility reflects well on her.
In "Dear Is a Four Letter Word," she is sufficiently angry at John that she insists he come to school to report to the principal. The teacher is concerned that Lydia's non-communicative father is setting a bad example for his daughter, given that the girl is acting moody and hostile to her male classmates. The principal, however, is sympathetic to John and admits that he shares the cartoonist’s irritation with Miss Skidmore.

Mr Raven in El Goonish Shive is an extreme example, to the point where he initially came across as a Sadist Teacher. What keeps him in this category is that he doesn't arbitrarily pick on students because he dislikes them (in fact, the students he's hardest on are the ones he thinks have the greatest potential), he attempts to do what's right for his students (not always correctly, such as thinking Grace needed to be in a remedial class) and he will defend the school and its occupants with his life, if necessary.

Bloom Into You:
Riko Hakozaki is polite, serious and no-nonsense. She insists on being called "Hakozaki-sensei," rather than "Riko-sensei," will assign extra classes to students who don't make the grade, and frequently takes the opportunity to remind students of their obligations, but those who respect and obey her generally get along well with her. It's implied that this may be out of concern over how she presents herself professionally since she keeps the fact that she's in a relationship with another woman firmly under wraps.
The director of the theater troupe Touko joins is shown to be fairly strict and intimidates Touko enough that she refers to the older woman as a "demon" once. In one scene, she berates Touko for not getting the subtle nuances of her character right. That said, she is said to be strict with people she believes has potential.

Child of the Storm has the canonical example of Professor McGonagall, while the sequel adds Magneto as a slightly softer variant - he's an excellent teacher who's not only brilliant but capable of explaining his lessons to someone without multiple degrees in the hard sciences, but innovative in his training methods, opening Harry's mind to the potential of his abilities. He's somewhat brusque during lessons, expects a lot of Harry (because he knows he's able), and doesn't hesitate to point out Harry's mistakes, but softens the criticism with praise where he feels it is deserved.

Voldemort's Children: As a Deconstruction Fic of Harry Potter, this comes up with Minerva McGonagall, who applies the same uncompromising standards and teaching methods to every student, regardless of whether they're a privileged pureblooded wizard or were raised by Muggles in ignorance with severe learning disabilities. The Rant observes that "stern, but fair" can be a euphemism for "neglectful of their students' needs". It's actually a case of the author completely missing the point, as McGonagall is talking about her standards for punishment (i.e. Purebloods and Muggleborns will be marked off equally for misbehavior), not for education.

Prefect Klaus Goldstein is also well on his way. On his route, he appoints himself the protagonist's personal drill instructor with the object of making sure she qualifies as a student to the Wizarding School, and though he's a merciless taskmaster he genuinely wants her to improve and his methods of instruction are consistently helpful. Despite being promised a position in the Bureau of Magical Justice on graduation, when Headmaster Randolph suggests that he could instead become a teacher, Klaus reacts with the open glee of someone who's just been offered the keys to the candy store.

Dr. Pappas from Growing Up Creepie: He's always spying on Creepie and the other students at Middlington Middle School. Dr. Pappas never cuts anybody a break if they're late turning in a class assignment or homework. Dr. Pappas is a stickler for rules. Though strict he has shown he does care for his students, especially Creepie a.k.a. Miss Creecher.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
Nitta is generally shown acting like this. It's partially subverted later on, as outside of class activities he's actually a pretty nice guy.
Fate Averruncus becomes this when he takes over 3-A's class. Fans have described him basically as a Trolling Teacher.

In The Getting of Wisdom, Mrs. Gurley is a quintessential example of this trope. The first thing she does is lay down the rules of the boarding school, which she expects Naïve Newcomer Laura to uphold to the letter. Later, she chastises Laura for playing Beethoven's "Sonata no. 21 in C Major" on the piano instead of the kind of music that she's expected to play

Principal Wartz in Hey Arnold! fits it well, even though he is a principal and not a teacher. Even though there are times when he was somewhat of a sadist teacher, however, in "Principal Simmons", it is revealed that the stresses of being principal got to him, including changes in curriculum, teacher complaints, and misbehaving students, even Wartz has seen the error of his was as he addresses that no self-respecting principal should call a small child a wicked-minded animal, "Even if it's true.", but he does make sure the rules are followed.

Instructor Aki in Final Fantasy VIII will lower a SeeD's rank when they're caught committing an offense within Balamb Garden. There's a reason why most players would miss him the entire game. Slightly subverted in that nobody likes him.

Serah becomes one between Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2, at least that's how she's described by the kids of New Bodhum. You actually get to see her display a bit of this during the story, where she gives a stern lecture to miniflan after beating them in battle in the Sunleth Waterscape 400 AF.

Doug: Mrs. Wingo, "You're knocking on trouble's door."
Same with Mr. Bone—though at first glance he seemed like a Sadist Teacher, he was more of this than that. You just need to catch him on his good side. He recognized that kids often need a firm hand but was also willing to listen to reason when it was pointed out to him, and given that Principal Buttsavich was nowhere to be seen Mr. Bone often had his hands full. In "Doug Battles the Rulemeister", Bone, an assistant principal mind you, points out that since he's at a higher position than him, Buttsavich can talk about him with or without his knowledge or present, implying he can overrule a decision by a staff member, Bone included, depending on the situation. Doug uses this knowledge when Bone catches him making fun of him in a comic. However, it's returned after Doug is informed that he broke a rule. While Bone may be viewed as harsh, he admits that he too is subject to the same school rules as Doug, his classmates, and the teachers. This could also imply Buttsavich could be subject it to them as well, although it's unclear since he's never seen.

Dragon Ball Z:
Piccolo when he eventually warmed up to Gohan (who admitted he was a better teacher than Goku, who was too soft). No such luck with Goten and Trunks though, since by the time he had to train them up they were in the middle of the Buu crisis.
Goku did get a bit better about being too soft after he'd experienced becoming a Super Saiyan. Compare Goku's utter lack of training methods in the Saiyan Saga, to him training Gohan in the Cell Saga, then him perfecting it right around when he begins to train Uub.

In Necessary to Win, Masae Atago, while nowhere near as strict as Shiho Nishizumi, is serious and no-nonsense, expecting her students to meet her standards, obey her and show her the appropriate professional respect. That said, once her students have proved themselves, she's willing to relax her standards a little as appropriate.

Subverted in the Key & Peele "Substitute Teacher" sketch. Mr. Garvey, the title character, is a veteran inner-city teacher shown taking over a class of bored, mostly white suburbanites. He reads their names off the roll as if they were Ghetto Names (inverting that trope in the process), and gets extremely confrontational when the students gently correct him, even sending one to the principal's office, assuming that they're just giving him attitude.

Melissa "The Schoolmarm from Hell" Mailey in Eric Flint's 1632 series. Her tough-but-fair approach is lampshaded at one point with a complaint to the effect of, "Who cares about 'fair?' So she makes us all read this crap equally and with no favoritism! Big deal." Also once made then-teenaged roughneck Harry Lefferts write "I will not be a smartass in front of a way smarter teacher" 200 times on the blackboard; an older Lefferts later admitted, "I was being a smartass, and she is smarter than me."

Some of Code Lyoko's teachers could count as this:
