Getting that C- consistently really took a toll on him, he couldn’t understand what was going on. He really knows his stuff and always scored well on tests

I realize this isn't your site, but wtf? Shouldn't this kid be able to figure out why he's getting a C-? The teacher is obviously handing back his notebook with a F on it or whatever and the kid has to know that the notebook is worth so much of his grade.

As an honor student that missed a lot of classes, I may have shown up if they docked enough marks, perhaps even sober. ( I didn't have that decision, whewww).
Since the kid was learning science apparently, why didn't the dad show him the secret of good marks. He's going to end up with a kid that knows science but keeps terrible notebooks, he had that to start with. There's got to be more to the story.
