Even with a large student body, especially one [[Improbably -Female Cast|with cute schoolgirls]], the faculty needed to maintain a large campus may rarely appear. Actual teachers may be limited to the homeroom, English, [[School Nurse|nurse]] and gym teacher; sometimes [[Economy Cast|both at once]]. Both will preferably be female characters in their mid-twenties, although the gym teachers are sometimes men or ambiguously lesbian or mannish women.
 
The rest of the time, education will occur with no visible staff -- even when the action takes place in and during a class, a teacher is almost never shown. Like [[Parental Abandonment]], this prevents adults who would otherwise have an interest in (or at least an influence on) the main characters from interfering with the plot. It's also a way to [[Economy Cast|avoid creating extraneous characters]] the show isn't going to focus on anyway.
Line 13:
* Theres only one teacher at ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu|Haré+Guu's]]'' school. And he's always sleeping.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|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 Equals =MC Hammer|Pause at the point they focus on the chalkboard...]] Seriously, he cannot handle basic calculus.
** {{spoiler|[[The End of the World As We Know It|Considering this is Eva and the amount of people that are suppose to be left (Especially towards the End)]] [[Justified Trope|this probably was done on purpose.]] }}
* Although it is set in a very large private school, there are ''no'' visible teachers anywhere in ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|Mai-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 responsabilities to her assistant}}), although the nurse happened to be a [[Hot Scientist|cute lady]].
Line 142:
== Video Games ==
* Seen in ''Pokemon Ranger'' :Shadows of Almia, in which there are literally two teachers. Semi-justified in which it's a school for Pokemon rangers. {{spoiler|Until one of the teachers mysteriously leaves...}} and they bring in a SUBSTITUTE teacher. Where'd he come from?
* ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]'' naturally falls into this trope, as only a handful of faculty from a few schools are ever shown in the games. Taiyo High has gym teacher [[Hot -Blooded|Hayato]] as a playable character, with science instructor [[Mad Scientist|Hyoe]] and office clerk [[Hot Mom|Shizuku]] showing up in the [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] character creation modes. Justice High's only known faculty are Japanese teacher [[Cool Old Guy|Hideo]], [[School Nurse]]/chemistry teacher [[Christmas Cake|Kyoko]] and principal [[Large and In Charge|Raizo]]. Gorin High also has volleyball coach [[Big Ol' Eyebrows|Kohtaro]] and sumo instructor [[Stout Strength|Kinzan]], but they only show up in character creation modes.
* ''[[Rule of Rose]]'' features an orphanage with over 20 children, but it only has one teacher/headmaster, a cleaning lady who doubles as a cook and one orphan who is sixteen years old and acts as a makeshift nurse. {{spoiler|They all dissappear in the course of the story, leaving the orphanage entirely in the control of the Aristocrat Club.}}
* Averted in ''[[Persona 3]]'' and ''[[Persona 4]]'' - the teachers aren't major characters in either case (though one's a Social Link in the former), but there's a different teacher for every class.
