There can be many reasons for the behavior you describe. The pattern indicates that when he is frustrated he is unable to manage the rush of anger that he experiences. His ability in this area will improve as he matures. You should arrange an evaluation with a pediatric mental health professional. You and the school should also employ a systematic method of managing the behavior. A good example of such a method can be found in Lynn Clarks's book SOS Help for Parents.
