The math teacher and others telling you that this isn't a big deal, or that you're the problem for caring too much and focusing on grades are very naive idiots who don't know how selective the process has become.

Those of us who have just had kids graduate will tell you that an F in a core subject is really bad. However, no one can tell you what you want to hear, OP: ie, that this is make the 120-180 colleges impossible to get into. No one has that sort of information, unless the colleges themselves suggest something. Perhaps you could shell out money for a one hour consult with a private college counselor (a credible expert, right?), to have a conversation with you and your child, and make recommendations as to what should happen next and how best to recover from the F.

But really, as a parent of teens, one of which is now in college, I would just lay down the law and stay on this kid with tutors and assignment checks (and possibly ADHD eval) until he gets it. The "we can do this the easy way, or the hard way" conversation ;-)
