We’ve got our Palace back. None of this winning cups nonsense, or unbeaten runs. No, how about no win in 9, knocked out of two cups within 3 weeks, one of which the biggest upset EVER, and now losing our captain and manager in the same press conference. Go hard or go home.

Phil Beadle’s (@PhilBeadle) piece exposes what life was like inside Uncommon Schools and it’s the students’ words that matter most.
Children describe being dragged down hallways, silenced at lunch, called “a waste of air,” stripped of dignity, overworked to the point of collapse, and even pushed to suicide attempts.
