Re: Child who doesn't want to do any school... advice?
Can he actually do it? Like the things you're asking him to do, if he sits down and does it can he do it, or is it too hard for him?
If he can actually do it, I think it might just be because he has somehow figured out that if he protests enough he sometimes gets out of it. I would just stay calm and matter-of-fact and tell him he has to do it. When my kids don't want to do school I just tell them "We all have to do things we don't like. Okay, now here on page 7. . . " just really matter-of-fact and uncompromising.
