History PlayingWith / SadistTeacher

* '''Implied''': Everybody in the classroom, ''[[BreakTheBadass especially]]'' Flash [[BarbaricBully Young]], starts to shiver in fear when they hear Mr. Stern's voice approaching the door.

* '''Implied''': Everybody in the classroom, ''especially'' Flash Young, starts to shiver in fear when they hear Mr. Stern's voice approaching the door.

** [[JerkassToOne Mr. Stern is mean, but he's only targeting one student]], and for good reason: It's [[JerkJock Flash]] [[BarbaricBully Young]].

* '''Implied''': Everybody in the classroom, even the BarbaricBully, starts to shiver in fear when they hear Mr. Stern's voice approaching the door.

** [[JerkassToOne Mr. Stern is mean, but he's only targeting one student.]]

* '''Played for Laughs''': Mr. Stern is treated by the other teachers as an overgrown bully then a grownup, to the point he gets sent to detention not to oversee punishment but to be punished.
* '''Played for Horror''': Mr. Stern doesn't just act this horrible to students: he is seen yelling at other teachers and sexually harasses at least one.

** Mr. Stern is mean, but he's only targeting one student.

** Mr. Stern has a FreudianExcuse (such as being bullied when he was a student) which the students he teaches touch on, prompting him to treat them poorly as 'revenge' for his own mistreatment.
** Mr. Stern believes that making them feel miserable is what molding them and shaping them better students. [[BunnyEarsLawyer In some stories,]] he's correct, [[DrillSergeantNasty even if it's in a "we are going to ace our classes so we won't ever have to put up with you anymore" kind of way.]]

* '''Subverted''': Mr. Stern is strict and abrasive, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but only has his students best interests in mind]].
* '''Double Subverted''': [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk It's a front]].
* '''Parodied''':

* '''Exploited''': Dr. Sadistic, the evil DeanBitterman that wants to turn Trope School into a SuckySchool (for some reason), recommends Mr. Stern, hoping that the horror stories that will ensue will run the school's acceptance amongst the community (and the department of education) into the ground.
* '''Defied''':
** Mr. Stern has a lot of pent up anger, but refuses to take it out on his students because he knows they don't deserve it.

** The PTA of this (and several surrounding) state have come up to Mr. Stern and kindly asked him to stop being an asshole... by which we mean that they tied him down to a chair and gave him a short session of torture that would make more sense in a ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' sequel, with the promise to make it a hell of a lot worse if they get more complaints about his attitude.

** Mr. Stern's students are too resentful of him to actually listen to what he says, especially since half or more of it is just flat-out abuse. As a result of having a teacher more interested in emotional abuse than actually ''educating'', none of the students ''learn'' anything, and since Mr. Stern grades rather unforgivingly, most of his students fail the class. Since he's proven to be ineffectual as a teacher, he gets fired.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Mr. Stern is treated by the other teachers as an overgrown bully then a grownup, to the point he gets sent to detention not to oversee punishment but to be punished.
* '''Played For Horror''': Mr. Stern doesn't just act this horrible to students: he is seen yelling at other teachers and sexually harasses at least one.
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Mr. Stern is much more ready to mete out punishments than [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Mrs. Willow]], but overall his plot is that of the BaitAndSwitchTyrant - he only appears to be sadistic because we see him through [[MrImagination Little Bobby's]] eyes.
