Why do politicians treat teachers so dismissively? Are they worried students will learn?

In our lives, we remember our parents, brothers, sisters, and other close family and friends. We might remember a police officer or fireman, but there are a few people we do not ever forget due to their impact upon our lives.
Teachers have that much impact in and upon our lives, yet they are treated very dismissively. Politicians could care less. These people called our teachers have a far greater effect upon society than any other government employee, yet they get financial crumbs for such effect.
Why are we not taking care of the the person we call "my teacher" who have such a positive impact upon our lives?
How many teachers do you remember?

It's a reflection of our populace I'm afraid
Most of the ones from high school

better question why do people choose a profession that's not lucrative and then complain that it's not lucrative?

Look, another glorified baby sitter begging for a raise.

A very small minority.
The education profession is primed for a tech takeover, teachers will become expendable for the most part.

Maybe if fewer of them were communists trying to troon everyone's kids and teach them that whitey is the devil.

Obviously your teacher didn't do a good job as the answer is evident. A large percentage of "teachers" are now nothing more than indoctrinators, not educators.
Those indoctrinators have tainted the entire pool and have caused most people, politicians included, to view them with a guilty until proven innocent lens.
In addition, teachers suffer from the same ills as cops, bloated administrations and unions that give no fricks about those end users the should serve. Pair this with the supposed good ones that just stand quietly by as the shitbags wreak havoc.

Your premise is BS.
Maybe YOU don't remember your teachers, but that doesn't apply to everyone.
I remember all of the good teachers that had a positive impact on me, and a few of the shitty ones too.
The problem in the US is that we don't have high enough standards and requirements for teachers, and don't pay them enough.
I'd like to see becoming a teacher as hard as becoming an engineer or a lawyer, and the salary follow suit.
You get what you pay for and are willing to accept.
Shout out to:
Mrs. Casar my first grade teacher
Mrs. Malone, English teacher in 11th and 12th grade, and my favorite
Mrs. Flack, math, calculus, and computer science
Mr. Gordan, chemistry and physics and an a-hole who taught us isn't fair, get your shite done

Can you imagine if that were the only reason a teacher took a job was for the money? My statement relates to a profession that does far more for society, which causes a person to remember how it affected their lives, than any other profession.

A few of my teachers were good, most were not

Yeah I remember a lot of my teachers even from elementary school for this same reason!

As a teacher, I have found that every adult only can relate to their version of what they saw from their desk when they were in school. It seems a lot easier from the desks than it actually is. This attitude applies to parents, voters and politicians.
Politicians are looking for scapegoats to distract us from their stealing and teacher make easy whipping boys.
The recent version of tatted, pierced, Pride flag waving screaming banshees who are teachers who are dominating the media are not helping teachers gain respect.

Teachers are like cops. Half of them are great and underpaid, the other half are terrible and only there because they cant do anything else. The solution is obvious-fire half of them and double the pay of the others.

So you would like to see all laws of supply and demand ignored?
What a ridiculous statement.

I went to Catholic schools. Our teachers were not merely pursuing careers and paychecks, but were also engaging in a ministry.
On the other hand, public schools and their personnel have become nothing more than leftist indoctrination camps, and a paycheck for the employees. Fvck those people.
