No they are not. By not paying extra attention to the dumb student, the teacher is not showing bias towards the smart students either.

And the dumb student didn't choose to be dumb. One person's special circumstances do not entitle him to special treatment nor does it warrant any special privileges.

All it shows is that the world is unfair and secularism has found the most fair way to treat everyone.
