Substitutes at university/college command respect, they are usually full time filling in for absent tutors or lecturers. They have masters degrees or PhD's.
High school/ elementary school substitutes do not command respect. Kids are kids and are harder to deal with than adults. I always used to give substitute teachers in high school and elementary school hell. It was time for the class to test out the substitute and have some fun.
