FOUR OAKS – A student at South Johnston High School has been charged with threatening a school administrator. The incident occurred Tuesday morning.
A school official reportedly observed the student attempting to pass a vape pen to someone else in a bathroom stall. The student was taken to the office, and while being questioned by an assistant principal, allegedly threatened to assault the administrator by stating, “If you look at me again, I’m going to slap the f**k out of you.”
A deputy at the school was reportedly present when the the verbal threat being made. The officer obtained a juvenile petition against the student for communicating threats.
We are told the student was also suspended but have not been able to confirm that information.
Moral bankruptcy of these children is a direct correlation of the way the parent is. JCPS, you want to correct this? Get to the parent.
Agreed. This is on the student and parent. I would expel the student and let the family find another school to educate them.
Looks like reason #37 of “why you should not use JoCo public schools for your children.”
So a kid threatens an admin and it is the public schools fault.
Umm yes. Because if they have students willing to threaten an administrator what would they do to a fellow student.
That has nothing do with the admin and everything to do with the student and their parents.
Well, there in lies the problem with public schools, you can’t control the parents. In charter or private schools, they’ll kick the child out. In public schools all you can do a suspend the kid and you still have to deal with the parent.
@Alyn: Please re-read my comment. Nowhere did I assign blame. #ComprehensionIsHard #DontPutWordsInMyMouth
Hmmm. Sorry, I don’t get cryptic messages.
Stop it…just stop it. It’s not the school system’s fault because a student feels their oats. That’s like blaming the airline or the pilot because you left your bag at home. Come on, people…public schools need your support right now, not your asinine attempt to blame them for all of society’s ills.
Excellent post. Responsibility is with the student and parents.
But those kids are still here in Johnston County. They don’t go away if you underfund the system or send taxpayer dollars to private schools.
But kids who know how to behave and would like to receive a good education, perhaps, could receive a better chance not having to go to school with hoodlums
Yea but test scores are rising…..
Is that bad? I don’t understand your point here.
The EOG an EOCtest scores were re-normed after 2022 account for the Covid pandemic. The norms were lowered, so they would not show the drastic loss of learning during the school closure.
We apologize for whatever happened during your public school education to make you this way. Bless your heart.

Didn’t 2 board members publicly threaten to fight one another on Monday? It’s no wonder the students act like this.
Actually it was only one, Terry Tippet
Johnson started it. I was there.
Ummm, saying “what are you going to do” is NOT aggressive.
Well, then what are you going to do?
Were you there?
This is is sad that children today have no respect for their elders! As an employee of the school system it can be so rewarding and challenging at times! I really do love my job and the students! I really do try to make a difference in their lives ! This is so heartbreaking to heard ! Social media and so much more has ruined our youth!
