This is serious - choosing whether to go to school or not is simply not an option.  I'm wondering why you think a boys' home or boot camp would be the only options.  I'm wondering if this child is not suffering from some emotional or mood or anxiety disorder.  Your first step needs to be an appointment with your son's family doctor to rule out these medical possibilities.  If he/she is not versed in these areas, then ask for a referral to a specialist as a child psychiatrist or neurologist or developmental pediatrician with experience in mental health issues.  

A second thought that occurred to me - is your son being bullied?  However, I still think there is more to this issue than just "bullying".  I wish you the best ....

Does he usually mind/ obey well?

What does he say? When is the first counseling session?
Good luck momma
