You are going out to eat with family members and you ask your kid to pick something to wear and to get dressed. When you walk into his/her room they are playing a game and NOT dressed. So you tell him/her again, "It's time to go. Pick out your cloths and put them on." He/she says, "I don't know what to pick." So then you grab the cloths and tell them put it on now. He/she starts throwing a fit refusing to get dressed, they don't want to go. They are screaming at the top of their lungs telling you what they are going to do. Even calling you names. It's is time to leave. Yall are about to be late how do you handle this? While they are screaming forcefully dress them.

It's time to wake up for school. You have been trying to get your child dressed and out of the bed for almost a hour. It is now 15 minutes before you have to leave or he/she will be late. He/she has already ate breakfast. You already gave them their school cloths. They are screaming at the top of their lungs. They are telling you they are not getting up, they don't want to and don't have to. They are calling you dumb and mean. What do you do? Snatch them up. Whip them. Then forcefully get them dressed.

Calmly tell them, "Starting now. Every minute you keep screaming, not getting dressed, and name calling me is equals 1 day without phone/tablet/game system."

Do nothing. There is no reason to fight with him/her. They only missed 1 or 2 days of school so far. There must be a goo reason they are acting like this.
