well, the teacher's breaking a good-faith contract and usually part of that is the understanding that breaking the contract is grounds for the school (district) to seek revocation of the certificate.

I've known a lot of teachers that did quit mid-year but their exit was talked over with admin ahead of time, the reasons were understandable and the principal agreed to release them.

Just walking out while insulting the admin would not be conducive to getting admin to agree to just release the teacher.

Since the attitude presented seems to be "never going back into the classroom," certificate revocation is both a meaningless bit of punitive behavior on the part of the admin but also of null effect on the former teacher.
