The only thing you will achieve with quiting lessons, running away or anything else of these things is that they will try to tighten the freedom you have.
If you don't want to go just tell them and talk about it with them. They will respect you more and might give you a bit more freedom because of this.
Also, you're only 13. Your parents will know what's best for you. If you disagree talk to them about it like I already said, but don't do anything stupid. You won't accomplish anything good with it.

[*]That wouldn't work, he lives too far away
[*]Putting your foot down could also earn you respect for knowing what you want in life. It would backfire if talking hadn't been used forst though.

Doing dumb stuff will not accomplish anything. Kryptonate is correct, ask them why they want you to go, tell them you don't want to, don't get cocky and threaten them with skiving off. Look sad and slightly scared (don't overdo it, just sound a little nervous and upset).

Just tell them openly you don't want to go, you're happy where you are, that by sending you there's a chance that you won't settle and that your education could be compromised. Also try and stay level headed when talking to them, keep your argument logical, and try and show them how their choice is illogical.

If they say you have to go, I would accept it, however I also suggest that you stay quiet and nervous for a while, keep laying hints about how you don’t want to go.

I think the most valid argument you can use, for now, is that there's only 3 months left in the school year (assuming you are on a typical school year) and that you don't want to change schools in the middle of it.   

Middle of the year school changes have all sorts of downsides -- your grades could suffer if the new school is ahead in the material, it is easier to fit in and make friends when you are not the only new guy.  Whether that will be enough to change the plans of your parents or not I can't say, but at least those are issues they should recognize as real.  Threats to run away or not study wouldn't be. 

If they accept that now, then you are "safe" for the next six months, which is a lot of time.  Much could change by then.

If you end up having to go, I think there is a good possibility you will find that you like it much better than it seems now.

Other than the uniforms.. and the homo guys i've kept hearing about.. plus the bad caf food... baah.. its not that bad after all!! LOL.. i'm just joking... you never know until you try it... i suppose it wouldn't be the same as your old school.. but think about the bright side (if there is any *ahem*) you'd probably be getting a better education!! LOL

To be honest, its probably just an empty threat; however, to avoid causing anymore disagreements or arguing; I would suggest you follow your parents guidelines about the usage.

Believe me mwe99 it's not an empty threat.

So then, just do as they say, and you won't get sent.

Duct tape your self to the roof...
