May or may not be a good teacher, but ''never'' a good disciplinarian. Often let students [[First-Name Basis|call them by their first name]] ("''Mr.'' Hippie Teacher is my father; you can call me Rod"). Definitely [[Truth in Television]]; many people had art teachers like this. While in fiction they can teach any subject, art teachers, guidance counselors and other teachers of "soft" or "creative" subjects tend to predominate with hard sciences being less common unless crossed with [[Absent-Minded Professor]].
Contrast with the [[Sadist Teacher]]. Compare [[Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher]] and [[Psychologist Teacher]], and [[Hippie Parents]] for the parent variant.
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Although he is too young to be a real hippie, Watanabe Osamu of ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'' fits the mold.
* Souma from ''[[Sora no Manimani]]''. He spent most of his twenties travelling all around the world and working for N.G.Os.
== [[Film]] ==
* Ms. Tebbit, the drama teacher in ''[[Were the World Mine]]''. Although it's implied that she may actually be a fairy in disguise.
* Although not exactly a hippie (he's a rock musician), Jack Black's character from ''[[School of Rock]]'' fits the bill, especially his " stick it to the Man" diatribes and very liberal views on discipline.

{{quote|When she'd started the job, less than a year ago, she'd firmly believed that everything that was wrong with the world was the fault of Big Business and the Government. She believed even more firmly now that it was all the fault of Bigmac.}}
== [[Live
* ''[[iCarly]]'': Mr. Henning. He loves nature, disproves of modern methods (or rather just major energy wasting ones), and takes students on a root and berry retreat.
{{quote|'''Spencer''': You know, when I was at Ridgeway, I had a teacher who was such a loser! He's a freaky weirdo and smells like rotten wood...
Line 36:
* Another one of Schneider's shows, ''[[Victorious]]'', has Mr. Sikowitz. He's a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|very good]], but very laid-back teacher who [[Does Not Like Shoes]].
* Mr. Rosso on ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' is a Hippie Guidance Counselor.
** Interestingly enough, while he still fits the classic trope, he's also a well-rounded enough character to be legitimately helpful at times and be thoroughly capable of discipline.
{{quote|'''Rosso'''(driving up to Lindsay and Daniel who are skipping school): '''Guess''' ''who's in trouble!''}}
* Art Cooney on ''[[The Wedge]]''.
Line 47:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Professor Potsdam in ''[[Magical Diary: Horse Hall]]'', although she can be [[Badass Teacher|terrifyingly competent]] when the need calls for it. All while calling you and the other students such things as "starshines" and various diminuitives for plant and animal offsprings.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 58:
* Mr. Simmons in ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''.
* ''[[Recess]]'': Ms. Grotke is the most obvious example, but according to [[The Movie]], Principal Prickly and Ms. Finster were Hippie Teachers back in the sixties.
* Mr. Burkenbake on ''[[The Fairly
** Mr. Burken'''bake'''. [[Meaningful Name|Niiiiceeee]].
* ''[[Doug]]'''s school counselor straddles this and [[Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher]]. As that he is always suggesting "Hugs" and other "Make Love" solutions to problems, his office is plastered with feel-good posters, and he looks vaguely like a caricature of [[Bob Dylan]] in an ugly sweater.
