Teachers get laid off all the time, it's just done by seniority. If you're not in a permanent position and enrolment drops, you absolutely get laid off and are back to subbing unless a position opens up.
No, teachers with 10+ years of experience don't normally get laid off like others might in an economic downturn, but that's basically the reality with any job that has inelastic demand. How often do experienced nurses, pharmacists, police officers, etc. get laid off?
