Dear Cirruscrystal,
I am a low hours UK pilot and have never been treated with contempt or disrespect by any FI, at the three schools I have used.
I had a trial flight at one school but then decided to use another as it was closer and also had a good reputation.
The CFI who gave me most of my lessons has over 50 years profesional aviation including everything from EE Lightnings to Harriers plus 20 years as an instructor and is a great chap.
The people who carried out my tailwheel training at another club were also excellent.
I've not been flying that long but have not come across people that you describe,maybe you were unlucky!
I am of a certain age and have learned that if you show respect then it is usually returned.
Yours respectfully
Lister
