I thought that was just part of having a dog, who knew

Even though you walk him 3 times a day - I dont think the 20 minutes each time is enough. IMO - that's just enough time to rev him up.
If that is all you can do - then perhaps you can do the walks with a doggy back pack with cans or water bottles.

It also sounds like he needs more stimulation. He's acting out from boredom. He's getting attention from you - even though it's negative.
I'd get the kids involved. I'm not saying this is your case - but in most families - kids just see the dog as something to play with when it suits them. By getting the kids involved with ob & care - it teaches them that there is more to a dog than just play time.

Kids when they come home from school are just a bundle of energy, he senses this and his energy level rises.

maybe the kids need to play fetch with him or do some obedience work with him when they get home.

If it were me I think I would just rehome the kids.
