they even hint that he wasn't that bad at school before the whole werewolf deal (the teacher's "not like you" comment on his test paper
That's exactly what I was talking about when I said the writers "tried" to show us that Scott was smart before he was bitten. Unfortunately, on my tv I couldn't even read the words on the paper other than the grade, so the point was lost on me. Also, that's really all they gave us for Scott having been a good student before then, except for Stiles' comment they he was a nerd by association with Scott, which I took to be sarcasm, because of the two, Stiles seemed more nerdy to me.
I also get that they've made Scott the "heart" of the show, but that doesn't preclude him from making some Very Bad (imo) Decisions, and those built up faster than any indication the writers tried to give us that Scott wasn't actually as dumb as he was acting.
So, while I've got a better understanding of s1&2 Scott now (no thanks to the writers, but due to meta from people who saw things I didn't), I still think he makes bad decisions almost as often as Derek does. *g*
