Who Is Philip Malloy's Suspension?

On Page 83 Dr. Palleni tells Mrs. Malloy, ”Students cannot break-- cannot make a disturbance in the classroom. Straightforward rule infraction.” AVI In this quote it is shown what rule Philip Malloy had broken. He was creating a disturbance, which is why he was kicked out of the school. OnPage 1 in the memo it says “Please all rise and stand at respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” AVI The rule that Philip broke is right on the first page in the memo. Stand at respectful, Silent attention. The rule Philip broke is right in the memo that he was sent most likely when he entered the school. He broke the rule, suspension is deserved. On Page 105 Dr. Seymour says “The answer is no. We do not have such a rule. Absolutely.” AVI This is said by Dr. Seymour while he is speaking to Jennifer Stewart. He is saying that there is no rule against singing the star spangled banner. On Page 111 the conversation states “Ms. Stewart: …. You suspended a student, Philip Malloy, for singing “The Star Spangled Banner”? Dr. Palleni: I did no such thing!” AVI In this quote, Dr. Joseph Palleni is defending himself after he is accused of suspending Philip for signing the national anthem. This shows that Palleni did not suspended Philip Malloy for singing the national anthem. He suspended him for some other reason, for creating a

The principal’s final verdict was so crushing that it left a lump in my throat. My childhood years of trouble making never caught up to me; I never thought it would. Every year, I would end up in one incident or another, but the result was simply a slap on the wrist. This time, there was no escaping punishment. I was to have in-school suspension for three days.

When he tried to try out for the school track team, his coach, ______, said that in the student handbook that students who are failing a class cannot join an after-school activity. Instead of asking for extra credit work like coach _____ advised. Furthermore, Philip’s friends were in his homeroom when he was humming. Most of them thought that he was just trying to make a laugh or to irritate Ms. Narwin. But when the story on the newspaper said otherwise, Philip’s friends really begin to think that Philip was trying to irritate Ms. Narwin. Practically everyone in the school likes Ms. Narwin, Phil’s friends are trying to prove her innocence. Finally, near the end of the book, Philip’s first day in the Private school, Philip’s homeroom teacher asked if he would sing the National Anthem, Philip said with tears in his eyes that he doesn’t know the words. When Philip hummed the National Anthem, he told the press and his parents that he was singing instead of humming the

He acts immature, but he can be kind and caring. He uses his humor to get attention. He tries to impress Allison, a girl in his school, with his antics since he likes her. He especially likes to make jokes in English class because he finds the class very boring. Philip works tremendously hard on things he enjoys but not on things he does not enjoy. He thinks that everyone enjoys his humor and when Miss Narwin, his English teacher, does not, he thinks that she hates him. At school, he doesn’t pay attention to what is being taught. He is lazy in his schoolwork and doesn’t study for anything. He is not confident and he tries to cover it up by not caring about school. When Philip finds out he is failing English, he doesn’t try to fix it. Instead, he blames Miss Narwin for it. He thinks that she is failing him on purpose. He thinks that if he switches to a different English class his grade will improve. He tries hard to make this happen, but he doesn't

The students all took a practice test and only thirty-three percent of the students have passed and the states minimum average is seventy-five percent. Throughout the school year, the students work effortlessly with Mr. Clark along with their school teachers prepare for the real test. Mr. Clark’s crazy and wild antics start to get to the students and they begin to respect him even more for it. They begin to see that he is only doing this with all of their best interests in mind. One of the students who was expelled’s mother complained about the way Mr. Clark ran things at his school and got the mayor involved. After Mr. Clark is found with the chains on the door, which is illegal and a fire safety hazard, and was arrested. All of the students came down to the Board of Education in Paterson and basically protested and ranted on how they wanted Mr. Clark to be released and return to his duties as principal. Eastside High’s assistant principal Mrs. Barrett claims that Mr. Clark was not the right choice to serve as principal of Eastside. But the students all say in rebuttal how Mr. Clark cares for them like no other and how he has done so much good for them that they will not accept anyone besides Mr. Clark. Soon after, Mr. Clark was released and good news was received. More than enough students

After I submitted a write up about Evan, I was called to the office and Mrs. Thiam wanted to speak to me. She said, “I read your write up. Mrs. Pereira, you have to be more sympathetic to those kids. They are coming from the broken families. Everyday is a new day, and you have to start new.” Mrs. Thiam continued, “So, how do you and Ms. Vigliotti (who is Evan’s classroom teacher) work together with the perspective of PBIS?” I said, “I speak to her about her students every time when she has music.” Mrs. Thiam went, “No, that’s not what I’m talking about.” However, she did not give me any explanation about how to work together with the perspective of PBIS, and changed a subject. “I called Evan’s mother and left the message to suspend him for

James from the collaborative classroom is leaving and this is not very good news but James goes up to Peter and says it's not his fault and that it was a accident. This lightens up Peter and he feels a little better but still can’t things straight for what he did to his teacher. After Peter goes to the hospital with his class and there they do what they would do in their class. Peter is kinda talking but still very quiet. Mr. T is still in the hospital for a while until the last day of school where he surprised the whole class and this is what he did to Peter. “Mr. T got down on his knees and looked directly into my eyes. Then came the best hug I’ve ever felt”. (266) Peter has never felt so loved before and starts hugging him back right after. This is showing Mr. T has feelings for Peter and does not think he is a bad kid. Then and there everyone forgave Peter for what he had done. Mr. T could have been a bad teacher and done something mean but he did

He had been angry because he didn’t want to leave the island he was already on. “The I became angry and accused her of being a coward.” His parents were getting worried that the war would interrupt their lives so they planned on Phillip and his mother to go to America, but Phillip wanted to stay so he had gotten mad at his parents. He later becomes friendly to Timothy who he was also angry at but for another reason. “I said to Timothy, ‘I want to be your friend.’” It is easily seen that Phillip has become more friendly to Timothy. After some time in the novel Phillip becomes happy after he is saved by the Americans. “In a funny voice, he asked, ‘Are you alright?’’I’m fine now. You’re here,’ I said.” He was glad that he had been saved from the island which he was alone on. Even negative emotions can become positive as time

Throughout the novel, Phillip is played as the antagonist who creates conflict between himself and everyone within the group. Our aversion for him is seen as though he is the

Philip has a mental problem. One society has given him. Philip Cares too much about what other people think. Or at least he started to after he met another boy named Brody. Brody is the kid that changed Philip.

I feel the accuracy of the media played a big role in the story. The media wasn’t very accurate with some things, like when they said Philip was a tenth grader, and some more serious things, like when Ted Griffen said that Philip was expelled when Philip was only suspended. These false and inaccurate statements of the media allowed this whole problem to blow out of proportion. I also believe the actions of the talk show host had a made this problem a lot bigger. When people heard the talk show host getting loud about his opinion they would start to believe him. I also feel that the media was very one sided and left a lot of details out of this situation. The newspaper wrote all about Philip’s story and how he was kicked out for “singing” the

The Book “Nothing but the Truth” is about Philip Malloy and how his actions affect his whole school. Though some people don’t notice how a few characters in the book use Philip and his problem to complete their own goals. Mr. Malloy and Ted Griffen are perfect examples of how Philips problem is taken advantage of. Mr. Malloy takes advantage of Philip by hoping his boss will recognize what his son is doing and leave him alone about an incident that happened at his job.

Ms. Andrews is justified for raising concerns about the way Mr. Mitchell is treating her daughter. She could have immediately called the school and said the teacher is picking on her daughter. She took the most proactive approach and observed the classroom management for herself. This way she can report what she saw and not what her daughter told her.

Philip Malloy, the main character of the book had been singing the National Anthem in class, which had landed him in a whirl of trouble. He was suspended for two days because of his actions. The plot of the story had been largely a debate the strange decision of Philip’s suspension. In the book, it had made national news channels and radio stations. Eventually, this problem was resolved and Philip was given an apology that

We are formally complaining that Ms Sanchez failed to follow MNPS policy as outlined in MNPS Student – Parent Handbook 2016 – 2017, regarding her selecting the Response of Expulsion of a student, Joseph Woods. First and foremost is the fact that not a single member of the staff of Cain Ridge High School has sat down and talked to Joseph to hear his story of the events of Friday, Feb. 3rd, 2017. That is the first item listed for any disciplinary response from a Level A up to a Level E. How anybody could expect fair and impartial treatment to be administered without someone even hearing both sides to a story is unfathomable to us. We look upon this failure as unethical, disrespectful and irresponsible. Joseph was handed a witness statement to
