It's certainly not fair or wise (particularly as it gives an even further advantage to people from even relatively affluent backgrounds). I'm not sure if failing is quite as instructive as dealing with irrational, bullheaded professors who, despite their supposed intelligence, are some of the most ignorant people you'll ever meet. Of course, you can learn much the same lesson by working in any service industry (McDonalds, cough), and not have to pay $40,000 for the lesson.
