Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion you should get an applied behavioural analysis for him so as to know what is causing that behaviour in the school.
Also he would require social skill training regarding how to refuse for things he does not want to do.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
