Ms. Margaret Narwin was teaching at Harrison High for 20 years. http://www.auburn.edu/~murraba/truth.html (under the memo, number 3)
Miss Narwin is a english teacher at Harrison High School and is also Philip's homeroom teacher and english teacher
Miss Narwin is a great teacher that is very fair and nice but the way Philip acts in class forces her to be strict because he doesn't try and doesn't care
Because phillip thinks miss narwin has something against him
Phillip Malloy doesn't write notes to anyone in the story by Avi. He is writing in his diary. The only notes in this documentary novel are the memos and the letters to Anita from Ms. Margaret Narwin.
Nothing but the truth takes place in Harrison New Hamshire at Harrison High School where ninth grader Philip Malloy goes to school. i think the time period is somewhere around the 1990's. it never specifically said what year in the book, but my teacher said that it was probably around the 1990's. hope this helps! ~Keri
Miss Narwin lies by omission in "Nothing But the Truth" when she fails to mention the National Anthem lyrics incident in her disciplinary report about Philip singing the song. This omission leads to a misunderstanding about Philip's intentions and escalates the situation, ultimately affecting his academic standing and reputation.
It's about a boy named Philip Malloy who likes to hum the national anthem but when he changes homeroom teacher does not like it. She, Ms. Narwin, says it is a disruption to the class. But, when a reporter finds out things get a little crazy.
In the story "Nothing But the Truth," two things that make Philip Malloy want to vomit are his English teacher, Miss Narwin, and the national anthem. The constant conflict and tension surrounding these two factors in the story lead to Philip's feelings of sickness and discomfort.
Phillip's side because he has the freedom of speech included in the first amendment of the Bill of Rights.
She think that his punishment is too harsh and severe. But she still kind of satisfied.
The real truth about the humming incident is never revealed. The two main characters are forced into unfortunate situations by careless, uncaring people and by events that spin rapidly out of control. No longer comfortable at Harrison High, Philip transfers unhappily to a private school, and Margaret Narwin resigns from her position.

He has an English teacher, Margaret Narwin, and he is doing very poorly in her class, he is given a "D" for his grade and is not allowed to try out for the track team.
