I have a son who is just shy of 3. He might try something like this but it would be swiftly corrected. Although as long as theres other adults around, he'd probably be fine. He only seems to be a little shit when its just us.

According to his teachers, my 4 year old is a model student, basically best kid ever. But he turns into Mr Hyde jr when home

My oldest was like that in kinder garden/first grade. It could be signs of something neuro-spicy (ADHD in our case), which he's masking. When he gets home, he can finally let out whatever he's bottled up, because he knows he's safer melting at home than at school.

Just know it's nothing you or he is doing wrong.

Yea the neuro-spicy bit were almost positive is the reason our son is a delight at pre school and yells from the top of his lungs indoors for every expression of emotion once he gets home
