This sounds strange in English. @CK, what does the Japanese mean?

@AlanF_US

Japanese sentence was strange, too. So I changed the Japanese sentences.

The meaning of the Japanese sentence:
He wasn't good at science, or he was too weak so he couldn't go to school. So he can't keep up with the science class at school.

I hope you understand what I try to say. :)

> He is backward in science.

Thank you, @small_snow.

I guess this is a legal English sentence, though I usually see "backward" in this sense applied to a group rather than an individual. Therefore, I'll let it stand, but I also added #9056765 ("He lags behind in science"), which I think is more natural (or at least common).
