* ''[[VideoGame/TearsToTiara]]'' has Kademia. It has exactly two teachers. VeteranInstructor Monomachus teach combat, while Enneads teach magic, and history & language as a cover for bureaucracy, leadership, tactics, and strategy. It is after all a MilitarySchool ran by LaResistance in the shadows of TheEmpire.

* Specific teachers are never mentioned in ''VideoGame/HighSchoolStory'', despite it being about building a HighSchool. Of course, really ThereAreNoAdults and AdultsAreUseless anyway; the only ones who matter are your fellow students, who may occasionally claim to know something about an adult that you'll never see.

Harry Potter Character Numbers

Added DiffLines:

** Depends on how you calculate it. There are five people in Harry's Gryffindor boy's dorm, which would imply around 40 students per year, or 280 total. It's mentioned that in lower grades, they have their subjects with the rest of their house and with one other house, for about 20 students per class, which would be reasonable. Furthermore, in the final two years, the number of students shrink enough that a single class could cater to the entire grade. This would give each teacher about a dozen classes if their subject was taught every year. Subjects like Divination, which might require two classes in third year, when it's first taught, and then one every year after that, might only require six classes total. However, Rowling has stated that there are 1000 students at Hogwarts. This would be about 143 per grade, and about 36 per house grade. With Lavender, Hermione, Neville, Parvati, Harry, Seamus, Dean and Ronald, that still leaves 28 other Gryffindors unaccounted for, despite Harry literally seeing them daily. The games and films add another four Gryffindors in Harry's year, but unless Gryffindor was massively underpopulated that year, there are still quite a few missing characters.

* In WizardsOfWaverlyPlace, the only teacher shown regularly is the principal Mr. Laritate. One episode centered around the art teacher Ms. Majorheely, but she was actually not a teacher but rather a student who was age-progressed by a spell that was later fixed.
* The various incarnations of Degrassi lean this way--especially ''[[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Degrassi/ Degrassi Junior High]]'', where pretty much the only teachers on offer were Miss Avery and franchise pillar Mr. Raditch.

Hot Mom has been disambiguated. Examples not clearly fitting into one of the tropes other than Fetish Fuel mentioned on Hot Mom are being removed. If you think it fits one of these tropes, feel free to readd with proper context. Same with Hot Dad.


* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' 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 [[HotBlooded Hayato]] as a playable character, with science instructor [[MadScientist Hyoe]] and office clerk [[HotMom Shizuku]] showing up in the [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] character creation modes. Justice High's only known faculty are Japanese teacher [[CoolOldGuy Hideo]], SchoolNurse/chemistry teacher [[ChristmasCake Kyoko]] and principal [[LargeAndInCharge Raizo]]. Gorin High also has volleyball coach [[BigOlEyebrows Kohtaro]] and sumo instructor [[StoutStrength Kinzan]], but they only show up in character creation modes.

* Although it is set in a very large private school, there are ''no'' visible teachers anywhere in ''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 ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, and by the end of the series she passes the title and responsabilities to her assistant]]), although the nurse happened to be a [[HotScientist cute lady]].

Even with a large student body, especially one [[ImprobablyFemaleCast with cute schoolgirls]], the faculty needed to maintain a large campus may rarely appear. Actual teachers may be limited to the homeroom, English, [[SchoolNurse nurse]] and gym teacher; sometimes [[EconomyCast 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 only faculty typically featured on {{Glee}} are Will, guidance counselor Emma, Principal Figgins, Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester and either football coach. Other faculty appear frequently in the teacher's lounge, but both teachers and students are rarely shown in class, giving the impression that virtually all of the day's activities are football, cheerleading or Glee-related. It got jarring in [[GwynethPaltrow Gwyneth Paltrow's]] episode as a substitute teacher, reminding us that Will does, in fact, teach Spanish at some point every day.

* This trope occurs a lot in superhero comics. For instance, in the original comics, Peter Parker had just one named teacher in high school, and at university things were not much better, at least if you discount those lecturers who like professors Warren (the Jackal) and Lansky (the Light-Master) turn out to be supervillains. The most extreme case was probably Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, which started out with a teaching staff of one (Professor Charles Xavier) and which would have to wait twenty years to hire a second teacher (dance and gymnastics instructor Stevie Hunter).
