ABQ, can you make it a detective puzzle for him?

It's important that he come to understand that he has less capability in this one area than most others do, and that it's not the teacher's OR his fault that this mismatch is happening. Ultimately, it's going to be on him to figure out what authority figures are asking for, and give it to them; better if he recognizes it as a glitch in his brain than if he always blames his teachers (=boss...).
