Line 169:
** To be fair, he does soften up over time, with the eventual result being that Sweeney was only sadistic from Ned's point of view and Ned usually deserved the grades Sweeney gave him.
** Sweeney also subverts this in the [[Grand Finale]], where he admits to Ned (who is hanging upside in a tree) {{spoiler|that Ned was his favorite student and enjoyed his antics. And leaves him hanging in the tree.}}
* Back in 1986, Christopher Lloyd had a field day playing the gleefully sadistic Professor B.O. Beanes in "Go to the Head of the Class", a memorable, hour-long episode of [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0511097/ Amazing Stories]''. One fan's excellent review, available [http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0955/ here,]{{Dead link}} goes into loving detail and includes numerous clips that ''must'' be seen. ''Especially'' the clip wherein hapless high school student Peter Brand is forced to ''"meet the Misters!!"''
* One Maurice Bronson in ''[[Grange Hill]]'', the classic example.
* Mr. Gilbert from ''[[The Inbetweeners]]'':

* [[Thomas Fay Syndicate]]'s webcomic, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120511015816/http://imhip.intodit.com/ ''I.M. Hip''] features Mr. Albany, who sends many characters into detention for just about anything (i.e. going to an opera).
* Mr. Dover from ''[[CRFH]]!!!'' There's more to him than the trope, but he certainly enjoys nurturing his students' impressions of him.
* In ''[[Red String]]'', Arata routinely torments his students; he even orchestrates getting the main character expelled when she dares to stand up to him in class for ridiculing a friend. It's to the point that another main character (known for being headstrong and prone to foolhardy heroism) has been asked by the student body to do something about him.
Line 278:
* ''[[Bug Martini|Bug]]'' shows us that you shouldn't trick-or-treat at the house of a sadist teacher.

** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130516085908/http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/halloween-part-2/ She gets her comeuppance, though.]
* Von Pinn from ''[[Girl Genius]]'' seems to be [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030718 like this]. It is subverted though, as later it is revealed that [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100512 the students actually love her].
Line 347:
* [http://www.cracked.com/article/211_the-6-most-horrific-lessons-ever-taught-in-elementary-school The 6 Most Horrific Lessons Ever Taught in Elementary School] brought to you by ''[[Cracked.com]]''. It's possible that the teachers involved didn't torment their students out of sadism but out of a genuine belief that they were doing the right thing. That arguably makes it ''worse''.
* There's a news story on Yahoo about a teacher that took twenty percent off of a girl's paper. His explanation? "For being a loser."
* Another story from netlore is the teacher who gave one Adam Clarkson [
* There was once a minor scandal in Poland about one [https://web.archive.org/web/20130730164835/http://www.edukacjawpolsce.pl/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=202 batshit crazy teacher]. She made her students (seven year old children!) sit with hands tied behind their backs (for "better concentration") and, judging from videos recorded by a student with a cell-phone, was also an utter insane bitch whose lessons consisted mainly of screaming at the top of her lungs. (However, her main claim to infamy was her utter, terrifying ignorance. She taught students that whales are fishes, Christopher Columbus was a Polish scientist who made a trip around Earth, "szalik" (scarf) is a five-letter word...)
* As seen on the [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin']] page, one teacher ''called the police'' on a girl for drawing on her desk in ''washable ink.'' [[Disproportionate Retribution]], much?
* This is [[Truth in Television]] as far along as the university level; professors who hate teaching undergrads. Some take it out on them in the courseload and grades assigned, some indulge in verbal abuse to unprofessional degrees, and seize any opportunity to belittle their students publicly. A few times, a teacher/professor even uses their position as a bully pulpit to essentially indoctrinate their students with viewpoints that only tangentially have any bearing on the subject, and sometimes even makes it a point to arrange it in regards to people providing proof to back their claims on history that they have to find proof at short notice (between class sessions), with no definitively confirmed method of disproving them by the next class.

* Ron Williams, director of the religious [[Boarding School of Horrors]] in Indiana called [https://web.archive.org/web/20131109112908/http://formerhephzibahgirls.webs.com/ Hephzibah House], has gone so far as to publish articles arguing that it is necessary to beat all children—his choice of verb—including [[Would Hurt a Child|babies]].

* As mentioned under Literature, [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]]'s first boarding school was run by a headmaster named Robert "Oldie" Capron who was a ''literal'' sadist, and who was eventually committed to an insane asylum.
