I have another of those no change no way kids who will balk at everything initially. I do insist on things if I know I m right but I have learned that sometimes it is best to back down for bit and let suggestions "settle". The current situation does to have things going for it, and you do have time to prepare a switch - the risk if his making a poor impression and listing a good educational option because he was rushed or tricked into things is greater than the risk of staying in the suboptimal classroom IMO.
