I'm saying that kids behave this way for a reason and we don't know what it is.

It could be the parents. It could be something else in the home environment. It could be a chemical imbalance incorrectly treated. It could be brain damage. It could be unresolved trauma. It could be he's a brat and has gotten away with it before, and raging is fun. It could be any combination thereof.

Kicking him out of school is, first, not legal in most places. And second, might abandon a kid into a bad situation.
