I often wonder if the reason some turn out the way you are describing is a result of being treated so poorly themselves. Often that's usually the case.

Oh I totally agree. Usually arrogant people who are around me a lot will subtly give off signs that they have been burned many times in their past or grew up in a way that taught them they are better than others. I agree, a lot of teachers can be that way. Even some teachers at my work are like that when I sit through a class with a student. I'll get a vibe of extreme arrogance and it is one of those rare cases when I hear a student complaining about a teacher who is extremely arrogant, I will secretly agree with them even though I will not do so outwardly, since that would be inappropriate and unprofessional.
Yes lots of students complain over trivial stuff that has no truth, but in some rare cases, they are actually right but of course, as adults, we can't agree with them. So yeah, I've been in a position where I've had to tell a student to stop talking about a specific teacher or say the teacher isn't like that, but in reality, I know they are actually right. And it doesn't have to be just teachers, it can be anyone else in authority in any kind of work environment.
