A flower child does not only mean, hippie or the 1960's, it also means that you are mellow, easygoing and lazy when you decide to be. Those were some of the concepts and teaching of the 60's youth generation. To really know for sure why this one teacher calls you flower child, then ASK >

* Flower child originated as a synonym for hippie, for their custom of wearing flowers to symbolize peace and love. It later came to mean Generation X children who have been brought up by hippie parents, whether the child was a hippie or not. Flower children often have unusual names such as "Rainbow" and "Moon Unit". ...

Hippies in the '60s where called Flower Child, or, Flower Children. We "did our own thing." We dropped out of society and wore flowers in our hair and wild clothes.
It is rude and unprofessional for a teacher to call you anything other than your name.
Tell your parents, what the teacher said. Your parents should talk to the school principal. The teacher is out of line and should be disciplined.
Teachers these days are out of control.

He probably isn't trying to be insulting. I don't know. He's referring to your mannerisms, way of dress, attitude, etc. You must remind him of a "floewer child" from the 60's. Not a terrible thing, they were a laid back, peaceful, nature-loving group of hippies. Like I said, not too insulting.

I think you reminded him of the flower children of the 60's. They were peaceful, worried about the enviroment, hated wars, etc....
If I were you, I'd take it as a compliment.
