Substitute Teacher Effect

When a struggling sports team fires their coach, and a new coach comes in and the team initially does really well.

Everyone is all smiles, the new coach tries new things, is fun and upbeat, and seemingly *changes the culture* so the team performs really well.....until they don't.

The few good games are due to excitement, and once the substitute teacher has to be a real teacher, fails spectacularly because he actually has to teach.

Boris: Oh fuck, you see how the new coach has turned this team around. I told you the old guy sucked.

Edgar: Meh, it is the Substitute Teacher Effect, come back to me in 3 months. Team is just playing well. New guy can't coach.

3 months later.....

Edgar: Team sucks, and coach looks really constipated.

Boris: Ya, you were right. Substitute Teacher Effect wins again.

I reject your reality and substitute my own

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" is often said when someone is completely unwilling to accept the truth and instead chooses to create their own version of reality. It's often used in a joking or sarcastic way to poke fun at people who are being stubborn or delusional.

Person 1: Dude, you failed the test. You need to study more next time.
Person 2: I reject your reality and substitute my own. I actually aced the test, but the teacher accidentally marked my answers wrong.
Person 1: Uh, yeah right. Keep telling yourself that.

Substitute Teacher

A substitute teacher is a teacher that is usually brainless on what's going on in the class or does not care about education

Substitute teacher: Class we are going to learn about the pythagorean theorem
That one kid:No we watch movies the entire period
Substitute teacher: Okay then

Substitute Creature

An old substitute teacher that totally creeps you out.

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION:
You a student watch her as she puts her glasses on, and they've got a chain, and her voice is raspy and old. She hands back tests and her hand shakes uncontrollably, and you hide in the bathroom all of class to avoid her evil glare.

McKenna: What do we need for science today?
Alexa: I would be afraid.
McKenna: Why?
Alexa: We've got a substitute creature today.
McKenna: No!
Alexa: Stay calm, the bathroom should be empty.
McKenna: Don't tell me she's got an evil glare.
Alexa: Yup.
McKenna: Hope I survive...
Alexa: Hahaha yah

Substitute Teacher

the teacher that basically doesn't check the lesson plan before the lesson and gives 0 fucks about your adhd and just tells you to listen better. the most annoying humans to ever walk this planet. Also they address you by your name and tell you to do better because this isn't you but really it is you and your god dam adhd.

I hate substitute teachers.
