8. Was He Really Being Patriotic Or Was It All A Lie? By: Min Young Lee - Washington School News Philip Malloy, a 9h grader that used to be a student in New Hampshire at the Harrison High School but is now a student from the Washington Academy, a private school, and used to be patriotic at the Harrison High School, but now we know, according to the Washington Academy, that he does not even know the words for the United States' national anthem. Mr. Duval, a news Reporter from New Hampshire that had interviewed Margaret Narwin that is now in Florida with her sister and is thinking of resigning, had said that Phillip Malloy, that was a student of the Harrison High School, was disrupting class and being disrespectful. There was no rule that said “No singing while the national anthem was played”, the teacher was just asking for silence and respect while the national anthem was played. But the kid, Philip Malloy, was not paying attention to the teacher knowing that the teacher was talking to him. Philip Malloy did not like Miss Narwin and was failing her class. He used to say that everyone hated Miss Narwin but it was not true. Miss Narwin was a master teacher and the students liked her. Philip Malloy ruined Margaret Narwin’s career. Philip Malloy wanted to be in the track team but he could not join the team because he was failing her class. He could have done a little bit of work and there would’ve not been any problem. Philip Malloy who was in Miss Narwin's homeroom, got transferred to another homeroom after the incident. We know that Ted Griffen, who was Phillip Malloy’s neighbor and now is in the school board in New Hampshire, used to give speeches when the incident happened and we now know that Dr. Seymour had said that everything was Miss Narwin’s fault so he could get the school budget. It didn’t help him in anything because he didn’t get the school budget. Philip Malloy, the one that we thought was the victim, is now the one that needs to be accused of the incident. Miss Narwin, the one that we thought was the bad guy, is now the victim now that we discovered all the true story. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/USA_Flag_1992.jpg

9. TheTruthisUncovered Do you remember the poor little kid from Harrison high who got suspended for being patriotic? Well the poor little kid is a LIAR. After going a little deeper in the story, we found out that the new school board member, Ted Griffen, was using the story to his advantage. He was telling everyone that if they chose him, none of this would ever happen and that everything was going to be ok. LIAR! It turns out to be that the “the poor little kid” was trying to get kicked out of Margaret Narwin’s class just because he didn’tlike his grade on the class, and because he didn’thave a passing grade, he couldn’t tryout for the track team. By: Cristian MinondoStauderd The Daily Minondo staff writer May 7th 2013 Orlando, Florida It turns out to be that everything that poor little Phillip told them, they believed it without even going and asking for details! HA HA that makes me laugh. It’s ironic! Neighbors say that the night after they sent all the postcards and letters to Phillip they had a party! Then, Phillip told his parents that he didn’t like the school and that he was being bullied too much so baby Phillip wanted to change schools! He finally convinced his parents about the changing-school-situation and they wasted all his college money on Phillips private school. RIDICULOUS! Lesson learned: don’t trust newspaper articles or any article before figuring out the REAL situation. http://www.examiner.com/article/once-a-liar-always-a-liar-1 Awww poor kid! Why don’t you just act up like the man that you are, well at least that you are supposed to be. They all say that he was being patriotic and singing our beautiful national anthem but first, he was not even singing, he was humming loudly and disruptive, and second, he doesn't even know the words to the national anthem! But there is more. The parents, who are supposed to take care of your kid, educate him, rule the house were NOT doing their job.
