Exactly. He was angry, so he was reckless as to causing serious harm but didn't actually intend to cause it because he was so angry. Meaning he didn't intend it. At least not according to the law, anyway.

I can see his point of view, but I still wouldn't want my child in his class, knowing that he is able to become that angry, if that makes sense.

The kids most likely deserved it.
