    I'd feel a lot more secure at a UFT run charter school than a
    corporate run charter school. The UFT schools do follow a lot of the
    rules of the contract, as I understand it. I am in my 50s now and
    many of my friends are long term out of work, unless they are with
    the same job they have had for years. All are unhappy.
