Poor Bob dreads waking up every morning and going to school. Is it the bullies? Is it the mountains of homework? Or the Foul Cafeteria Food? Nope, worse than all of those put together—his new homeroom teacher Mrs. Alice has it out for him personally, and no one else. She watches him at all times for any signs of causing trouble, always asks him the hardest questions (and mocks him when he doesn't answer them correctly), never lets him go to the bathroom, always looks for excuses to give him detention, and seems to take sadistic pleasure in writing big, fat, red F's on all his tests. There are numerous reasons why a teacher may take issue with a particular student (and different reasons may swing the audience's sympathy more toward one party or the other): The student is very Book Dumb and frustrating to teach, refuses to do their work, makes a lot of mistakes, or is a big troublemaker or prankster. The student is creative and imaginative, but they have a stern, boring, by-the-book teacher who doesn't appreciate those qualities (at best) or wants to stamp them out (at worst). The student is related to someone else the teacher dislikes. (Lord help the former if their teacher had a bad experience with their older sibling in a previous year.) The teacher is prejudiced against a particular demographic, which the student happens to be part of. The student is a Bully Magnet and the teacher is a Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up. The student is mistaken for a bad seed courtesy of the other students' Insidious Rumor Mill and various misunderstandings and the teacher decides to enforce zero tolerance on the wrong target. The student openly disagrees with the teacher's views, and the teacher doesn't like their authority being challenged — especially if they're a Politically Motivated Teacher. The student is smarter than the teacher (possibly to the point of being an Insufferable Genius), which makes the latter feel insecure. Or none of the above: the teacher is just a plain old Jerkass, and a single student is the target of their ire due to pure bad luck. And just to rub things in, this teacher's favorite student is probably the rival or bully of the disliked student (especially if they're The Hero), who naturally takes advantage of their position to get away with tormenting the disliked student even more. In the most extreme examples, the teacher may actively attempt to get their least favorite student expelled from the school by framing them for causing trouble or watching them like a hawk for screwups so they have reason to declare that the student is nothing but a future delinquent and criminal. The student is probably a Butt-Monkey, the teacher is likely to be a Sadist Teacher, Stern Teacher, Evil Teacher, Cynical Mentor, and/or a Jerkass to One (though they may have a point if the student is particularly rude or disruptive), and the school they work for is likely to be a Sucky School, Dustbin School, Assimilation Academy, or Boarding School of Horrors. Compare the Boss's Unfavorite Employee. See also Teacher's Pet, which isn't necessarily the direct inversion of the trope, but such a character is often the teacher's favorite, due to sucking up to the teacher and trying to be an ideal student. If the teacher hates the student because of something their parent or older sibling did, it can veer into Misplaced Retribution. No Real Life Examples, Please! While many of us can remember being at odds with our least favorite teachers, this isn't the place to call them out. |

The Worst Witch: Downplayed — the titular well-meaning student Mildred Hubble is highly inept, forgetful, and clumsy. Despite occasional Pet the Dog moments, her form-teacher Miss Hardbroom frequently picks on her and compares her unfavourably to the top pupil Ethel Hallow. When the young students are presented with black cats, Mildred is given a dim-witted tabby instead; and Mildred strongly suspects that Miss Hardbroom has arranged this. | |

Robotboy: All the teachers in the main characters' school come as strict and stern (if not sometimes sadistic), but they absolutely despise Augustus "Gus" Bachman-Turner. They have a very good reason for that: Gus is an Insufferable Imbecile (crude, arrogant, greedy, cowardly, Book Dumb and street dumb to the extreme, plus he's a Pig Pen and Big Eater Gasshole with Jabba Table Manners). For example, one teacher cancels a test when Gus goes to the school nurse (he infected himself with fleas to get out of taking the test) and other teacher angrily brings out the test with Gus's usual "F", only for his car to be destroyed by possessed monster truck. This definitely doesn't raise his reputation. | |

The Simpsons: "Lisa's Sax" shows that the reason Bart became such a troublemaker at school was that his kindergarten teacher constantly put him down for not catching on to things as quickly as his classmates. In the episode "Black Eyed Please", a substitute teacher named Ms. Cantrell arrives to Lisa's classroom and promptly turns it into a living hell for Lisa, handing out bad grades and worse punishments purely on a whim while all other students (even Ralph) are treated a lot better. Cantrell reveals as she leaves (thanks to Bart tormenting her) that it's the result of Irrational Hatred for pretty students that developed because she was bullied in school (Lisa, on her part, is surprised that Cantrell considers her pretty at all). Mr. Largo, the Elementary's music teacher, hates Lisa because she plays jazz (her breaking out into a jazz solo during school practice is a Couch Gag in the opening credits, even). This comes to a head in "Lisa Gets The Blues", in which Largo finally has enough and completely demolishes Lisa's hopes of ever becoming a professional player with a Breaking Speech so she will never bother him again. |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: In The Movie, Beachhead is in charge of training the Rawhides, new recruits to the Joes. Of them, he has it in the most for Falcon. He's fully justified, as Falcon is a lazy wannabe casanova who even dares to try to pull rank on Joe field commander Duke (Falcon being a lieutenant and Duke a First Sergeant), despite Duke being the Number Two according to The Chain of Command. Even the other Rawhides barely seem to tolerate him, since his antics also make them look bad. | |

For most of Ozy and Millie, Millie feels like she's this to Mz Sorkowitz, since her anarchic imagination doesn't seem to sit right with a teacher who feels her job is purely to get the students to pass standardised tests. Then on the last day of elementary school, Mz Sorkowitz tells Millie that she's going to miss her, because she was one of her more interesting students. | |

Sweet Valley High: In the Sweet Valley Twins book Best Friends, Jessica and Elizabeth decide to join a ballet class. When Jessica shows up for the first one wearing flashy accessories like barrettes and makeup, she promptly gets chewed out by the teacher, Madame André, for not wearing proper ballet attire like her sister (“First lesson and you already think you are a star?�). In every class after that, Madame André praises Elizabeth, but the only thing she ever tells Jessica is "Keep your back straight." | |

Madeline: In Madeline at the Ballet, Madeline is the only one in her class not initially chosen to perform in the school's production of The Happy Swan because the dance teacher, Gaston, thinks she is too short. She is eventually chosen due to the prima ballerina intervening on her behalf, but during rehearsals, Gaston has no praise for her even when she improves, even though he praises the other girls. He can't even be bothered to remember her name (even though he remembers the other girls' names), and just calls her "mademoiselle." | |

Harry Potter: Professor Severus Snape is the mean old Potions teacher of Hogwarts who pegs Harry Potter as his least favorite student within seconds of meeting him, unfairly marking him down in class and letting the Slytherins bully him—especially Harry's rival and Snape's own favorite, Draco Malfoy. It's because Harry looks like his father James, who was not only Snape's biggest bully during their Hogwarts days, but eventually married Lily, the only girl Snape ever loved. Aside from Harry, Neville Longbottom is Snape's other least favorite student because he is so clumsy, forgetful, and nervous that he constantly screws up in Potions, which gives Snape an excuse to berate him in front of the other students. In fact, Professor Remus Lupin's third-year lesson on boggarts—Dark creatures that turn into one's worst fear—reveals that Snape is Neville's worst fear in the whole world. Misplaced Retribution might have a hand in it; some fans have theorized that part of the reason Snape hates Neville is that he was the other potential "chosen" in Sybill Trelawney's prophecy, and if Voldemort had targeted him instead of Harry, then the Potters—including Lily—may have survived. In Harry's fifth year, the enmity he quickly develops with Professor Dolores Umbridge makes his and Snape's mutual loathing look downright friendly. Under orders from the Ministry of Magic, she stifles all of his attempts to tell everyone that Voldemort has returned, up to and including punishing him with detention where he's forced to carve the phrase "I must not tell lies" into the back of his hand. She also finds other ways to punish him, including banning him from the Quidditch team, taking away his privilege to visit Hogsmeade after finding out he published an interview in The Quibbler about Voldemort's return, and trying to get him expelled for starting a secret student organization to learn proper Defense Against the Dark Arts skills. |

Calvin and Hobbes: Miss Wormwood, the one of Calvin's teachers we most often see, seems to have it in for Calvin, even going as far as to warn a substitute teacher about him. However, Calvin is often disruptive and by his own admission not exactly the most attentive student. On the few occasions Calvin is actually motivated to try to do something or excels, Miss Wormwood is fully willing to praise and congratulate him. | |

Fudge: On Fudge's first day of kindergarten, he and his new teacher Mrs. Hildebrandt start butting heads almost immediately because Mrs. Hildebrandt insists on calling him by his full name, Farley Drexel, instead of his nickname (insisting that "Fudge is a good name for candy, not a good name for a boy"), and won't let him play with the round blocks on the first day. She even comments, "There's something definitely wrong with that child." The problem is solved by transferring Fudge to a different kindergarten class with a more understanding teacher. | |

Persona 5: Due to his criminal record, Joker isn't well-liked among the teachers at Shujin Academy, but Suguru Kamoshida is so against it that he makes the protagonist's school life as difficult as possible by having his record leaked and threatening expulsion should he cause any trouble. Ryuji Sakamoto is also treated with disdain by Kamoshida, and the feeling is mutual. Not long before the start of the game, Kamoshida had been responsible for spreading information on Ryuji's home life to the rest of the team, as well as breaking Ryuji's leg, resulting in Ryuji punching him and getting the track team shut down. |

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: Emilia Lud(o)well looked down on Anos for being a half-demon despite how powerful he had been and attempted several times to upstage him only for her to get humiliated which range from trying to get him expelled to stealing a staff he found. The last straw for her was him defeating her brother in a duel which leads to her trying to kill eight half-demon students when they intervene in an attempt at stealing Anos's sword from his mother Izabella. Suffice to say, Anos puts a stop to this by turning Emilia into a half-demon just like him and the same students she tried to kill which led to her losing her job. | |

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Casca Highbottom, the dean of the Capitol Academy, dislikes the young Coriolanus Snow and is always looking for ways to humiliate him. It emerges that Casca used to be friends with Coriolanus's father Crassus when they were students together, but they fell out over an assignment which required them to come up with a punishment so terrible that those on the receiving end would never be allowed to forget how they had wronged you. While drunk, they wrote an outline for what eventually became the Hunger Games, but Casca was so shocked by what they had written that he didn't want to hand it in. However, Crassus handed the assignment in before Casca could destroy it, which later led to Casca being credited as the creator of the Hunger Games even though he wanted nothing to do with them. Casca never forgave his former friend and this has affected his attitude towards Crassus's son. | |

A Kind of Spark: Addie's teacher Ms. Murphy is frequently verbally abusive towards her because Addie is autistic, believing that she's just a badly behaving child whose parents don't bother to discipline her. She was also cruel to Addie's older, also autistic sister Keedie back when she was younger. She also keeps trying to get Addie put into a special school because she doesn't want to deal with her, even though just about all of Addie's former teachers liked her and considered her good at working independently. When another student named Emily destroys Addie's thesaurus and Addie violently fights back, Ms. Murphy is quick to assume Addie's violence was for no reason before hearing the whole story and refused to believe otherwise, even when presented with evidence to the contrary, even going so far as attempting to silence anyone who tries to tell her Addie's side. After Addie’s parents learn what she put their daughters through, they file a complaint against her (with the implication that she’ll be investigated for discrimination) and Addie is put in a different class. | |

Drake & Josh: The titular brothers have Mrs. Hayfer as their English teacher. While Mrs. Hayfer generally likes Josh due to his hard work, she utterly despises Drake for being lazy, rude, and not being good at his studies. The feeling is mutual on Drake's part, who thinks that Mrs. Hayfer disproportionately hates him as shown when Drake correctly answers a question, only for Mrs. Hayfer to call him wrong and immediately call another student right when he answers the exact same question and later immediately accuse Drake for being the one to park her car in her classroom, which Drake didn't do. Drake's hatred for Mrs. Hayfer is such that in a later episode, he excitedly asks if she died. | |

Pokémon: A Marvelous Journey: Part of the main character Julia's backstory involves her having had a teacher who believed Julia's parents were using her autism as an excuse not to discipline her properly and therefore refused to make allowances for Julia's needs, openly referring to her as a "trouble-maker". Things came to a head when this teacher falsely accused Julia of letting several Pokémon loose and physically restrained her, causing her to become hysterical and develop an intense dislike of Pokémon battles, though she later overcomes this. The teacher was subsequently fired and prosecuted for child cruelty, and Julia was transferred to another school. | |

Persona: Persona 4: Yu Narukami's homeroom teacher, Kinshiro Morooka, A.K.A. King Moron, puts him on his "shit list" within minutes of his introduction to the class, regardless if you chose to confront him for calling you a loser or not. Noriko Kashiwagi is very jealous of Rise. Persona 5: Due to his criminal record, Joker isn't well-liked among the teachers at Shujin Academy, but Suguru Kamoshida is so against it that he makes the protagonist's school life as difficult as possible by having his record leaked and threatening expulsion should he cause any trouble. Ryuji Sakamoto is also treated with disdain by Kamoshida, and the feeling is mutual. Not long before the start of the game, Kamoshida had been responsible for spreading information on Ryuji's home life to the rest of the team, as well as breaking Ryuji's leg, resulting in Ryuji punching him and getting the track team shut down. |

Played with in The Loud House. The season 5 premiere is about Lincoln starting middle school and he gets assigned to Mr. Bolhofner's class, which is in a shed outside the school. Things go about as well you expect for Lincoln with Chandler demolishing his desk and chair by removing the screws. Bolhofner is unsympathetic to him and expects gratitude for borrowing a kindergarten seat for him and pays no attention to Chandler. He's not totally unreasonable however, as after Lincoln returns from studying in Canada and having become accustomed to the colder temperatures there, asks for the thermostat to be lowered. The rest of the class gasps in horror, but Bolhofner agrees saying he never turned it down because no student ever asked. A later episode shows Chandler messing with Lincoln again and Bolhofner only deals with Lincoln. Lincoln tries to get a new seat by offering to let him join his dad's music band. When Bolhofner takes over the band, Lincoln feels sorry for his dad and the other bandmates and allows them to kick him out of the band. Bolhofner threatens to put Lincoln back to his old seat near Chandler. The next school day, he changes his mind deciding he was proud of Lincoln standing up to him and let him remain on the side of the classroom opposite Chandler. | |

The illustration shows a girl offering a green apple to her cranky teacher (who is apparently unhappy because she wanted a red apple), with a poster of the girl's face in the background that says "The BAD CHILD: This could be you!" and a blackboard with only one name listed under "Bad Students". | |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: Miss Fowl has a particular dislike towards Sheen Estevez. This is because Sheen is obsessed with Ultra Lord to the point of showing his action figure of him for show and tell seven weeks in a row, and because he is extremely Book Dumb, to the point where he scored a F---- on a test (one of his answers was that Ultra Lord was the father of our country, which was on the official Ultra Lord website — which he wrote). She is also not above insulting Sheen's terrible singing voice, to the point where after she gives Sheen a solo in the school choir to thank him for saving the town from the Twonkies (since they like terrible music but hate good music), she locks him in a sound-proof booth. In Journey to the Center of Carl, when all of her students are too sick to go to school thanks to Jimmy's sick patches, she admits that she misses all of her students, except for Sheen. | |

Unfortunately for him, everybody else can see that Izuku is being framed and Aizawa gets utterly destroyed by the backlash. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Chronos-sensei/Dr. Crowler hates the red students since they have the lowest grades in the academy. The protagonist Judai/Jaden Yuki however, is his least favorite student even before Jaden was officially enrolled. In the dub, he at first refuses to allow Jaden an entrance exam duel just for being late (in the Japanese version, he has some minor justification upon hearing Jaden's placement on the written exam was #110, meaning if Jaden did get enrolled he would be an aforementioned red student). When he does duel Jaden, Crowler rigs it by using his personal deck in lieu of a test deck. After losing to Jaden anyway, he spends the early episodes trying various methods to get Jaden expelled or at least embarrass him. The Japanese version mostly drops this once the Shadow Riders come along. | |

It turns out that Miss Joyce never asked her because she thought Ellen wouldn't want to get chalk dust all over her dresses, as she always keeps them so neat and clean. When clapping the erasers with her best friend Austine, Ellen happily exclaims, "You know what? Miss Joyce liked me all the time!" | |

Animal House: Dean Wormer, as a Dean Bitterman, hates the students of the Delta House fraternity to an extreme and when he gets the chance to kick them out, he also reports them to the Army as being now draft-worthy (which in a movie taking place in The '60s means almost certain death). The plot is an Unbuilt Trope of Wacky Fratboy Hijinx films, however, and Wormer does has a point to expel them because Delta House is disruptive and destructive to a degree that any realistic college authority would just not allow existing within the campus. | |

Transformers: Animated: In "Autoboot Camp", we're shown Bumblebee and Bulkhead's past in basic training. They get on the bad side of Sentinel Major, their drill instructor, on their very first day. A fellow Autobot demonstrates skill with his stinger weapons and gets named "Wasp"; Bumblebee's clumsy attempt to do the same leads Sentinel to decry him as being a bumbler (hence "Bumblebee"). Bulkhead's demonstration likewise ends with Sentinel growling that even his head must be nothing but armour, hence Bulkhead. Throughout the episode, they just continue to inflict Amusing Injuries on Sentinel by accident, which only fuels his dislike for them even more. | |

Three's A Crowd (Naruto): Played multiple ways with Kakashi. It's Subverted and Played With in regards to Sakura, whom he immediately decides is his favorite student due to her analytical skills, with his praise only growing as he observes her work ethic and overall skillset. In fact, Shikaku explicitly ordered Sakura to manipulate her grades in school in order to end up on his team, precisely because he knew this would happen, thus securing the safety of his son's talented civilian friend should she end up getting too much attention from the wrong people. However, Kakashi is not a very good teacher, relying heavily upon Trickster Mentor and sink or swim tactics, along with expecting her to act as The Heart of Team Seven much like Rin had and pull them together despite how Sasuke and Uo scorn and belittle her for being a girl. This means Sakura doesn't trust Kakashi, believing that he'd sell her out in a heartbeat, Sasuke, by contrast, is Kakashi's actual least favorite student due to his Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy and Ineffectual Loner attitude. However, the Sandaime and Council are heavily invested in seeing Sasuke excel as "the last loyal Uchiha", resulting in many wrongly assuming that Kakashi also favors him, or should be giving him extra special treatment. Including Sasuke himself. Then there's Uo, whom Kakashi largely overlooks as a Replacement Flat Character; while it's repeatedly hinted that there's more going on beneath the surface, Kakashi simply isn't invested enough to pay enough attention to what's going on with him. |

Freaky Friday (2003): Anna is convinced that her English teacher, Mr. Elton Bates, hates her for no reason. Her mom Tess is unconvinced—until the "Freaky Friday" Flip happens and she sees firsthand that Mr. Bates is extremely lenient with all the other students but overly strict with Anna, and even outright lies about Anna's answers being incorrect as an excuse to fail her. Tess-in-Anna's-body finally recognizes Elton Bates as the guy who asked her out to prom when they were both in high school. He never got over that, and now he's making Anna fail just to get revenge on the woman who rejected him years ago. Tess threatens to report him to the school board if he doesn't knock it off. | |

Wayside School: Mrs. Jewls pays special attention to Todd and writes down even tiny or accidental misdemeanors. He's sent home early for being disruptive every day, even when he rarely does anything actually wrong. | |

Scarlet Lady: Mme. Caline Bustier plays with and Inverts this; her favorite student is Chloé, a Spoiled Brat whose bullying Bustier constantly coddles and enables. While Caline herself freely admits that Chloé doesn't care about others, she expects the rest of her students to "set a good example" for their tormenter by Easily Forgiving every slight and treating her like a beloved friend. Naturally, this has only taught Chloé that she can get away with being a Rich Bitch, making her completely unrepentant and unapologetic... as well as eventually destroying Caline's reputation as "the nice teacher". | |

Ramona Quimby: In Ramona the Brave, Ramona is the unfavourite student to stern Mrs. Griggs, who is quick to punish her for perceived misbehavior. When Ramona helps her classmate Davy (who is dyslexic) with his work, Mrs. Griggs sees it as an inability to "keep her hands to herself". When Susan copies Ramona's paper-bag owl and Mrs. Griggs praises it, Ramona feels she can't tell Mrs. Griggs because the teacher's favorite refrain is "Nobody Likes a Tattletale," so she crumples Susan's owl and then her own out of frustration. Mrs. Griggs punishes Ramona for this by making her apologize to Susan in front of the whole class. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: In Rodrick Rules, at least two of Greg's new teachers dislike him on principle because they had his big brother Rodrick (a Book Dumb slacker and delinquent) in their classes a few years ago. His history teacher Mr. Huff glares at him and makes him sit in a chair right next to the teacher's desk, and his pre-algebra teacher Ms. Lee watches him like a hawk. | |

Big Nate: While Mrs. Godfrey may have a point to dislike Nate's inability to apply himself and general disrespect towards her, she can be quite harsh towards him (though she does have moments where she does something on his behalf). She is shown to be quite happy when he's assigned to another teacher during their temporary visit to Jefferson Middle School. This particular trait of hers was flanderized in the cartoon. | |

South Park: While PC Principal is confrontational and ill-tempered towards most of his students, he has a particular hatred towards Leslie. He interrupts himself during his speeches to yell at her for whispering to a different student, even calling the police to arrest her for it. The fact we find out that she's a sentient ad out to use political correctness for nefarious purposes is just a coincidence. | |

In the backstory of Turtle Head: Unmasked, Blair Gardener became a major headache for Marina Lily for being a troublemaking delinquent who preferred to bully Marina's cousin Harriet over bothering to stove above a D average. Marina would frequently complain to her friend Simon Dale about her, eventually leading to Simon deciding to do Marina his twisted idea of a favor by imprisoning and killing her. | |

In Mean Rabbit, Aizawa is outright sadistic to Izuku, hoping that Izuku will either quit UA (because Quirkless weaklings have no place) or make it through the class (and he can then say that it was him driving Izuku to succeed that did so). | |

Captain Underpants: Ms. Tara Ribble doesn't like George and Harold for playing pranks and being imaginative, which are forbidden at the Sucky School that is Jerome Horwitz Elementary. In The Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman, she sends them to the principal's office for drawing a comic book about her as the Wicked Wedgie Woman and later changes all their grades to F's and G's for pulling a prank that involves giving her a card from Mr. Krupp that says, "You're one hot mama! Will you marry me?", which nearly leads to them getting unwillingly married. | |

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared: Sketchbook encourages the students to be creative, but seems to dislike Yellow Guy's ways of being creative, as she pours black paint onto his painting of a clown, and tells him "green is not a creative color" when he arranges sticks and leaves into the shape of the word "green", his favorite color. | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: Miss Quantum used to be evil until she became a teacher to help kids. But she tends to be very hard and stern towards her students, and for some reason, has a particular dislike towards K.O.'s friend Dendy who's the smart kid. | |
