El Reemplazante is a Chilean TV series who aired on Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN) between 2012 and 2014.After a risky financial operation that lead him to a three-month prison sentence, former financial executive Carlos "Charly" Valdivia (Iván Álvarez de Araya), goes from having a very comfortable life, to living with his father Dionisio (Sergio Hernández) and his brother Pancho (Roberto Farías) in the commune of San Miguel, in Santiago. His new life leads him to take a job as math teacher in the Príncipe Carlos school, where his father works as a inspector, and his brother also works as a teacher. Having a harsh beginning, soon Charly starts to slowly gain respect from his students, and at the same time to realize about the tough reality of them, the problems they face, and their dreams, repurposing his own life in the process.The series premiered one year after massive protests were taking place in Chile, demanding free and quality educationnote Specifically, the protests demanded a better participation of the state in public education, and the end of for-profit education.. It was acclaimed for both the realistic representation of the students of low-income families and the state of education in Chile.Currently both seasons are available on Netflix.

comment
Reluctant Retiree: The shooting inside the Príncipe Carlos, triggered some security measures (like see-through backpacks and presence of the police officers on the front door) that Dionisio doesn't think will avoid another similar situation. When Nieves, in a personal conversation with him, pushes him to act in a way in which he is unable to act, he says if she wants to fire him, it's better to say it to him directly. Nieves proposed him an agreement in which he resigns of his position as inspector. He meditates for a while, finally accepting the offer, leaving vacant a position that he held since the first episode. He accepted not because of the compensation money he will receive for his years of service, but because of the authoritarian way decisions are made in the school.

Bathroom Stall Graffiti: The bathrooms of the Príncipe Carlos tend to be full of graffities written on the walls and the WC doors. Fitting with the bleaker tone of the whole second season, their first episode ends with Charly inside one of the bathrooms, seeing the phrase "Hoy lloramos nosotros, mañana lo hará tu madre"translation "Today we cry, tomorrow your mother will do it" written on a wall, with both a swastika and the SS symbol drawn underneath.

Bland-Name Product: A "Blink And You'll Miss It" moment: In episode 6, when Maicol and Flavia are taken out of the Príncipe Carlos by the police, there are reporters outside the school. One of them has a microphone with a circular "8" logo, referring to Canal 13, which at that time had that logo, but with a "13" instead of a "8", and the arc inside the circle upside down. A similar situation was averted in episode 11. Charly, Dionisio, and Berta are watching Jorquera's declarations on the TV news channel 24 Horas, which belongs to TVN.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Claudio may be a dangerous criminal, but he is livid when he finds out that Arturo tried to abuse Toyita. He even scolds Maicol for not telling him about it. And later he has Arturo abducted, beaten up and tied up in his house so Maicol can shoot him, though he ultimately doesn't go through with it (although he gets Arturo arrested by police detectives). Claudio is quite understanding of Maicol's decision.

Voiceover Letter: In episode 7, Charly proposed to his students a special task: Write a letter about their personal dreams, so Charly can send them to the newspapers. The motivation is that if one letter is published, all the students will get a good grade. Of all the written letters, it's Flavia's letter who is published. At the moment Charly, Ana, and later Maicol are reading it, we hear Flavia voicing it. While she's voicing it, we know about one of the personal dreams of Flavia at the same time it is fulfilled: Get to know the snow.

How We Got Here

How We Got Here: The very first episode starts with Charly in his first day as a math teacher at the Príncipe Carlos school, his unsuccessful attempts to make his students to behave properly, and the "stab" he received from Maicolnote Which later the episode reveals to us, it was a prank on Charly. Once he fell off due to the "stab", the episode goes back three months before, showing the reason why Charly was sent to prison, his arrival to San Miguel, and why he took the job of math teacher.

Psychologist Teacher: Charly. Once he gains experience as a teacher (and gains the respect of his students), it progressively becomes this.

College Radio

comment
College Radio: Pancho, as the interim principal of the Príncipe Carlos, authorized the purchase of radio equipment, which allowed the creation of a school radio, operated by Kathy, Samuel and Lalo. As an agreement, the school radio is only allowed to broadcast music and not to protest. This agreement eventually breaks when the students become aware of the irregularities triggered by Lalo's death, which may end with the Príncipe Carlos closing its doors.

Take This Job and Shove It: Ana, when she realized had no material to work with, went to principal Nieves's office to complain about it, only to learn that her art classes were demoted in favor of classes preparing the students for the PSU. Having no option but to accept these work conditions, and sick of the contemptuous tone of the current administration of the Príncipe Carlos upon her and her classes, she quits her job in front of Nieves's face.

Back to School
 El Reemplazante / int_da72023b
comment
Back to School: Implied with Charly. The private company who owns the Príncipe Carlos school requires that teachers in their schools have an academic degree in education, something that Charly lacks. He managed to negotiate his permanence in the Príncipe Carlos, under two conditions. The first one is that his students must score higher than 500 in the PSUnote Prueba de Selección Universitaria (University Selection Test), the main test for college admissions in Chile. And the second one, is that he must regularize his academic situation, getting an academic degree to be in compliance with the company requirements. Charly is not seen going to college, but it's implied he is doing it offscreen. Played straight with Hamster and other adults. One of the plots in season 2 is the creation of a workshop in the Príncipe Carlos, which allows adults to improve their education level. In the particular case of Hamster, Claudio asks him to get into the workshop, so they can deal drugs inside the school.

Character Aged with the Actor: Six years after the final episode aired, and less than a week away from the referendum in Chile to change the current Constitution, a video featuring Maicol, Flavia and Toyita went viral. In the case of Toyita, it was reprised by Maite Neira, who instead of the little girl we saw in the series, is now a teenager.
