If the story's emphasis is [[Fundamentally Female Cast|on the female students]], she will act like [[One of the Kids|one of the girls]], a teenager in spirit. In [[Harem Series]] with a male protagonists, she is more likely to be a bit [[Hot for Student]], as a comical [[Supporting Harem|side-character of the harem.]] A common character flaw [[Played for Laughs]] is being a [[Hard-Drinking Party Girl]].
 
Their frequent complaints about being unable to settle down in a proper relationship, are probably based on the traditional Japanese culture's conflicting expectations, [[CareerFamily Versus FamilyCareer|that a married woman shouldn't work]], and [[Christmas Cake|a woman over 25 should be married]], and for the intended audience of Anime, schoolteachers provided the first, childhood exposure to women with this dilemma, enforcing the stereotype that teachers are the sort of women who can never get married.
 
The trope's name is a combination of two [[Japanese Honorifics|honorifics]], "-sensei" is used for teachers, like "Miss", and "-chan" is an informal affectionate diminutive. While the combined usage is grammatically correct, and it reflects the characters in spirit, it's unlikely that anyone would use it for a [[Real Life]] teacher either in this form, or as "-chan-sensei", since it would be about as conflicting and disrespectful as "Miss-baby", or "Teacher chick" in English.
