There are Badass Teachers, and Sadist Teachers, and Cool Teachers, and Fired Teachers, and then there's this guy. Jaded, misanthropic, Deadpan Snarker material, this is the teacher who's been in the job too long. He dislikes students -- he's been there long enough to know they're thick and (usually) irritating. He hates the school, he hates the job, he really hates the management -- but because he's known virtually nothing else, he still sticks at it, putting himself through it year after year. In psychology, these people are called "burnouts". Examples of Apathetic Teacher include:

  • There are Badass Teachers, and Sadist Teachers, and Cool Teachers, and Fired Teachers, and then there's this guy. Jaded, misanthropic, Deadpan Snarker material, this is the teacher who's been in the job too long. He dislikes students -- he's been there long enough to know they're thick and (usually) irritating. He hates the school, he hates the job, he really hates the management -- but because he's known virtually nothing else, he still sticks at it, putting himself through it year after year. Sometimes, these started out as young, enthusiastic Cool Teachers, who got beaten down by rowdy kids and an uncaring system. There's usually one person who will find that their no-longer-gives-a-shit attitude makes them a Cool Teacher anyway, or at the very least an occasional confidant. They're likely to seek solace in the bottom of a bottle. In pretty much all Save Our Students movies, one of these (if not an entire school of them) will serve as a foil to the idealistic teacher. If the school is an inner city one, expect this teacher to be the one to make some remark about how they can't really expect anything from kids with this "background." The key difference between Apathetic Teachers and Sadist Teachers is the latter hate their students, while the former hate their jobs. Sadist Teachers often seem to take a sick glee in torturing their students; the teachers this trope describes don't seem to take much joy in anything, at least not at work. In psychology, these people are called "burnouts". Examples of Apathetic Teacher include:
