Line 11:
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', we only see one shrewish teacher in the first episode. The school's deputy chairman, meanwhile, ends up being the show's [[Big Bad]].
*
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' only ever shows a single teacher, who [[Mr. Exposition|endlessly drones through the same lecture]], episode after episode, about Second Impact.
** And, based on episode 3, horribly sucks at math. [[E=MC Hammer|Pause at the point they focus on the chalkboard...]] Seriously, he cannot handle basic calculus.
**
* Although it is set in a very large private school, there are ''no'' visible teachers anywhere in ''[[My-HiME]]'' aside from Midori (who is part of the core cast) and Sakomizu (who acts a supporting character and is almost never seen teaching). We do get to see the headmistress ( {{spoiler|who is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]], and by the end of the series she passes the title and
* The most recent ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' anime, Negima!? plays with this. In the previous anime, we never saw many teachers but lots of nondescript students on the enormous campus, of which the main cast is only class 2-A. The manga shows a larger number of teachers a bit in (past the point the anime drift off on their own), but most of them are also mages, and we never see them do any actual ''teaching'', although, of course, we don't see the main character, ostensibly a teacher, teaching, so presumably its in there somewhere offscreen. Probably. Unless it isn't. Thats the thing about stuff offscreen, you can't see it.
** Negi has been seen giving quizzes and making the "[[Baka]] Rangers" stay after class, and gives various efforts to help them learn. (the whole Library Island arc)
Line 47:
* Averted in ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]''. Apart of the titular character who works as a teacher in an elementary school, we have one of his love interests (Ritsuko), Tamamo (the male nurse), the PE teacher and the principal (actually a [[Genre Savvy]] man who hired Nube ''knowing'' who he was).
* In ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'', Peach Moon Academy is a ''four'' teacher school, and we see all of them teach at various points (even though Becky gets the most attention).
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the only teacher we see in Nanoha's school is Nanoha's homeroom teacher. There was another male math teacher that appears in one episode of the first season, but that was in [[Cram School]].
* Yukari-sensei is pretty much the only teacher in ''[[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu]]''.
* Justified in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', as Hinamizawa is a village of only about 2000 people, and the (tiny) school really does only have two teachers.
Line 63:
* Sort-of-averted in ''[[GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class]]''. GA-1 happned to have two homeroom teachers (Satoma-sensei and Usami-sensei), and GA-3's homeroom (Sasamoto-sensei)is also a major character—especially she's also the advisor for the Art Club.
* ''[[Wolf Guy]]: Wolfen Crest'' has approximately two teachers, one female and one male (guess which one tries to make a stand). There's also the principal and vice-principal, but everyone is too terrified of the delinquents' leader, [[Yakuza]] heir Haguro, to do anything about the violence Haguro's gang causes. Oh, and this is a ''middle school''.
* Katori-sensei from ''[[Amanchu!]]'' seems to be the only teacher dwelling in that rather large high school
* ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]'' has the principal, Kaede Tenjouji and Mikan (no last name given) as the ''only'' faculty members that ever appear.
* The school in ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' seems to have only two teachers, one of whom in Mayuko (who has plot significance), while the other is a man who appears to teach gym and possibly other subjects.
Line 76:
{{quote|'''Furuichi''': "I've been wondering about this for awhile, but what do the teachers in this school actually ''do''?"}}
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' only gives us one named teacher (in the second season), and in that case {{spoiler|she's a Britannian spy keeping an eye on Lelouch}}. In the first season we see one teacher getting Geassed, and again we see a conference where teachers are apparently lining up to chew out Lelouch and Suzaku for chronic truancy and dump make-up work on them.

Line 162 ⟶ 161:
** Lampshaded further in an episode where the students visit Mr Barkin's father at a Living History (early American History, where every character has an [[Identical Grandfather]] to be precise) community where he too implausibly performs every single job in town.
** Coach Barkin generally drops [[Noodle Incident|some reason for the absence of the regular teacher]]; just enough to give us the idea that had they given us the full story, it would be hilarious, and a whole show could be built based solely on the things that incapacitate the teachers Barkin covers for.
* Similarly, the teaching faculty of Springfield Elementary on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' seems to consist entirely of Miss Krabappel, Ms. Hoover, Mr. Largo, and Ms. Pommelhorst (who later became Mr. Pummelhorst due to a sex-change operation). The small size of the faculty is subject of a [[Lampshade Hanging]] in one episode where it is revealed that Lunch Lady Doris is also the school nurse (due to the fact that she likes getting two paychecks working as a lunchlady and a school nurse) and another where, due to school budget cuts, Lunchlady Doris is now the school nurse while Groundskeeper Willie has been hired out as a French teacher ("''Bonjourrrrrrrr'', ya [[Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys]]!"). It should be noted that in a later episode, Willie was replaced as a French teacher by a man with a New York accent (and no experience in speaking or teaching French) named Mr. Kufferberg. And in the earlier episodes, Springfield Elementary had two additional teachers: one named Mr. Glasscock, who almost quit because the kids kept making fun of his name and an unnamed hippie teacher who once started his class by saying, "Did I ever tell you kids about the '60s"?
** Principal Skinner has also taught a few classes as a substitute to otherwise detained teachers. And of course in one episode there was the near-perfect Mr. Bergstrom...
** Justified since this is an elementary school in a world where the kids don't grow up, so Bart and Lisa's classes are always going to have the same teachers.
