    I meant to find another profession entirely.

    Similar to when employees get fed up at a store and one day the place is closed with a sign in the window saying everyone left. The difference being the ease of replacing retail workers compared to replacing teachers.

    There would incredible consequences if even a tenth of the teachers exited the purview of the ATA, let alone all of them. Unfortunately when Albertans continue voting for these overzealous politicians, any consequences are going to be strenuous and difficult to sympathize with.

      Interesting idea. But not very realistic. I know a lot of teachers (5 in my immediate family and I used to lead over 40 of them at my school) and they all chose the profession because they love kids and they see this profession as noble and building something for the future of the province. I highly doubt a single one of them would consider leaving over this dispute. They’re very loyal to their students.
