Ok, so the image on Apathetic Teacher relies mostly on two large text bubbles, in Spanish. I don't think it's a very good image, it's mostly text-reliant and rather confusing if you don't speak Spanish.

I suggest this one is much more straightforward.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Not sure. That pose and look can suggest a few different feelings.

Looks apathetic to me. Suggestion is far superior to current.

Whose bright idea was it to use THAT for an image. The suggestion is quite good and I cant find a better image.

OP suggestion is the best so far, but I want to see it at wiki size.

The suggestion is a bit better than the current.

I'd prefer something showing her actively apathetic (heh) — perhaps smoking? Perhaps from the Simpsons comics?

[up]Are you referring to this?

[up] That isn't Ms. Krebappel, that's Miss Hoover, who is also an example of the trope. The context of that picture seems to indicate a more urgent, short-term issue to solve rather than showing complete apathy.

The picture could work better if the page was worded lazily like, "An apathetic teacher is a trope where... Ah, who cares? It's exactly what it says on the tin.". Self-demonstrating with a bit of lampshading perhaps. But if not that, then I fully agree with one of the suggested Simpson pictures.

[up] That could work as an image caption, Self-Demonstrating Article is usually more harmful than good.

Eh... I can't post external links. I'll try again in a couple of days.

I like the teacher's expression in the Simpsons one, but I agree it could be interpreted in different ways.

Nvm, I can post links now.

Btw I'm not sure if memes are OK.

[down]Edit: OK, I'll try to find something else.

Memes are not OK, yes. That includes these images unfortunately.

I looked at the original again...the original doesn't even seem like a case of Apathetic Teacher anyway, just a strict one.

The clock is way past due. Locking for inactivity/lack of consensus; no action is to be taken based on this thread.
