It’s like rewarding Johnny with cake every week for doing poorly in school (after all it’s not his fault he’s dumb) and straight A Susie gets told she needs to go out and get an after school job to help with the cake fund for Johnny, and then poor Susie’s grades fall because she’s working instead of doing homework. No unfairness there huh? And Susie won’t harbor any resentment will she?
Your analogy describes things perfectly. I see variations of this all the time. Young A-students in grade schooll--they must endure idiotic behavior of the straight D/F-students, and they must endure idiotic activities designed to be suitable for the mentality of the D/F-students, since there are so many of them. And at the end of the day, or week, the A-student is shipped off somewhere to a math/science competition so that he/she can bring home a prize and increase the reputation of the school. While the D/F morons are busy playing ping-pong or basically doing nothing.
