* ''Literautre/TheFamiliarOfZero'' only ever shows two teachers: Mrs. Chevreuse, who simply exists so we can have a demonstration of [[StuffBlowingUp what happens when Louise tries to cast a spell]] and to [[MrExposition explain the basics of magic]], and [[BadassTeacher Mr. Colbert]], who actually has plot relevance. This isn't counting the [[DirtyOldMan principal, Old Osmond]].

* This trope occurs a lot in superhero comics. For instance, in [[ComicBook/SpiderMan 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 [[Franchise/XMen 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).

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/MrTickTheTeacher'': Justified in that Mr Tick is the teacher to his own six children, but in an actual school. When this very little school is threatened with closure, the family pretends it is a bigger school, by having the same group of children appearing in different parts of the school, pretending it has lots of different groups, to make it look bigger.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' only ever shows a single teacher, who [[MrExposition endlessly drones through the same lecture]], episode after episode, about Second Impact, and, based on episode 3, horribly sucks at math. [[EEqualsMCHammer Pause at the point they focus on the chalkboard...]] (Given that it's eventually revealed the school [[spoiler: is also a repository for the potential EVA pilots]], one wonders how qualified this teacher actually is.)

* ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'': Well, one teacher, anyway: Miss Magpie. Justified since it's a one-classroom school in Greenpatch.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', first Lancer's the vice principal, then English teacher, then the biology, then the astronomy teacher, then basically whatever the plot calls for in the future except for PE. The only other recurring faculty members seem to be Principal Ishiyama, the math teacher Mr. Faluca who only appeared in two episodes, and the PE teacher Coach Tetslaff.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', first Lancer's the vice principal, then English teacher, then the biology, then the astronomy teacher, then basically whatever the plot calls for in the future. It wasn't until the second season that enough focus was put on another teacher long enough to actually get to speak.
** Principal Ishiyama had brief speaking roles in season 1, and there was a short balding teacher we only ever saw twice (Mr. Faluca). Coach Tetslaff, though, could be seen as the second teacher for this trope. Lancer never takes up the PE position, and Tetslaff has been featured quite a few times throughout the show ("Fright Night" and "Micro-Management" come to mind).

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'' also suffers from this. In fact it gets progressively worse as the five seasons go on. There was one teacher, [[OldMaid Sakurada Haruna]] in the first season. By the end of the first arc of season two, she had vanished. (A bit understandable in the fifth season since the girls had moved on to high school, but really...)

* ''Manga/LuckyStar'' only has Nanako Kuroi as the homeroom/history teacher of the main cast (except for Kagami) and the biology teacher (mostly in the manga). Other teachers do appear at times, though. The manga however, has the school nurse (we have an ill girl in the cast, after all).

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': During the Sun & Moon saga, [[MrFanservice Professor Kukui]] and maybe Samson Oak are the only teachers shown at the school. Strangely enough, the school itself is ''huge'' with a student body to match it, but this could be [[JustifiedTrope explained]] as while there are students attending it, their classrooms aren’t shown except for the sweet one doubling as a terrace on the highest floor.
