I’m pretty sure Cop-Teacher is the most common marriage in the US in terms of professions (excluding one/both spouses being unemployed or staying home).
There’s a reason why schools look and function a lot like prisons, and a certain type of chud attracted to the disciplinarian system.
Unlike cops there are decent teachers out there, who really do strive to help kids how they can. The environment and funding and support is just not there.
One of my teachers had multiple units about the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement as part of the curriculum.
Photos of Abu Ghraib came out and we were watching it on the news. The student news anchors were commenting on photos of men being stripped naked and tortured about how barbaric it was. My teacher then said "Yeah but they're terrorists trying to kill us."
Most of my respect for her died that instant. She didn't care about the Holocaust because it was the fucking Holocaust. She cared because it happened to people that looked like her.

I wonder what's up with that perception. Like, I meet "progressive" teachers a lot, but that's because I largely meet "progressive" people a lot.
