* ''[[I CarlyICarly]]'': 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...<br />
'''Mr. Henning''': Spencer? That's me.<br />

{{quote| '''Rosso'''(driving up to Lindsay and Daniel who are skipping school): '''Guess''' ''who's in trouble!''}}
* Art Cooney on ''[[The Wedge]]''.
* Mr. Jellineck from ''[[Strangers Withwith Candy]]'', in sharp contrast to his [[Sadist Teacher|secret lover]].
** [[Word of God|According to Paul Dinello]], Jellineck (a totally insecure loser) was based on Hippie Teachers who in real life are often considered kind of creepy by their students, who don't really ''want'' a forty-year-old man giving them advice on problems he shouldn't even know about and insisting that he "gets" them all the time.
* Ms. Dawes of ''[[Degrassi]]'' is this, she is the art teacher. She also happens to [[Live Action Role Play|LARP]] in her spare time.
* Mr. Donovan of ''[[Square Pegs]]'', who dressed conservatively but would hark back to his nostalgic days of sit-ins and experimental theater.
* J.D. becomes a bit like this in ''[[Scrubs]]: Med School''. "Let's gather round the Teaching Tree!"
* Valerie on ''[[Awkward (TV series)|Awkward]]'', who is more of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] than a hippie, but fits the mold by being a horrible disciplinarian and treating the kids (especially Jenna, her favorite) like they're her friends.

* Merlin Ambrosius, in his role as Arthur's art teacher in ''[[Arthur, King of Time and Space]]'' ... maybe. He's definitely a [http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0114.htm hippy] and a teacher, but we don't really see him teach to judge if he actually fits the trope.

** 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.
* Mr. Mandrill from ''[[My Gym PartnersPartner's a Monkey]]'', another hippie school counselor.
* [[King of the Hill|Hank Hill]] has locked horns with his share of [[Hippie Teacher|Hippie Teachers]] over the years.
* Miracle from ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up]]''.
* [[The Simpsons|Springfield Elementary]] has one -- he's just a background character, but he usually shows up when there's a group of teachers onscreen. When all the textbooks were stolen and the teachers had to improvise their lessons, he sat cross-legged on his desk and asked, "Did I ever tell you kids about the '60s?"
** Skinner dates one in a recent episode.
