Mysterious Teachers' Lounge/Playing With

Basic Trope: The teachers' lounge is a wonderful place for teachers to escape to.
Played Straight: The teachers' lounge has soothing music, soft couches, hottubs, etc.
Exaggerated: The teachers' lounge is a place of Crystal Spires and Togas.
Downplayed: The teachers' lounge isn't anything fancy, but it is designed to be a soothing place.
Justified: Teaching is a stressful job; they need a place to regain composure.
Subverted: The students expect the lounge to be a magical place, but it's an ordinary room with sofas, a little kitchenette area, and vending machines.
Double Subverted: But once the student leaves, a teacher presses some buttons on the vending machine, and a wall turns around to reveal a spa, a party room, a bar, or some other such great place.
Deconstructed: The school likely doesn't have the funding to pay for all these amenities. And even if it did, wouldn't it be better to pay the teachers a higher wage instead of just giving them Bread and Circuses?
Reconstructed: The school manages its budget so that it has the resources to provide teachers with a decent living wage, as well as a place of refuge from the stress of the workday...without compromising the quality of the students' education.
Parodied:
Lampshaded: "Off to the magical teachers' lounge! Wait, Did I Just Say That Out Loud??"
Averted: See "subverted"
- There is no teachers' lounge.
Enforced: Rule of Funny
Invoked: One of the teachers proposes getting a hottub for teachers to use when the school gets some additional funding.
Defied: The hottub proposal is rejected, and the money is allocated towards providing more up-to-date books and learning materials for the students.
Discussed: "I wonder what really goes on in the teachers' lounge?"
Conversed: "Where do they get the money for that teachers' lounge, anyway?"
Played For Laughs: Almost always is.
Played For Drama: The school is suffering, but the teachers are too busy enjoying the spa to care...except for the Only Sane Man.
