The good is almost never able to influence the bad to improve. Quite the contrary, the bad very often/frequently pulls the good down to its level down in the gutter.
Case in point: misbehaving, rabble rousing kids in the classroom only disrupt the class and cause trouble. The mere presence of the good kids that want to pay attention, to learn the subject matter, and to get good grades does not magically somehow make the bad kids stand up and fly straight.
Nope. This is because the authority, i.e., the teacher, spends so much time cleaning up after the bad kids, that she does not have any time remaining to teach and improve the good kids.
Then you hear the incessant whining. Then the popular psychologists whinily shoot back and ask, "well why don’t the good kids helllpppp the bad kids? Help them understand, help them comprehend the subject matter? Explain it to them? Take the time, take the effort to do the charity work." Be more "selfless," be more "caring.”
Your concerns are duly noted. Let me now return a question to you. Why is it always incumbent on the good kids that excel, to always help out the bad kids?
This is an esoteric concept that a lot of people do not get. They think that the good ones are *obligated* to help the bad ones no matter what... But in the process, the good ones sacrifice their *own* futures.
That right, kids. In an attempt to help the crappy students so as to make sure the crappy ones are not neglected or whatever, the good kids do a disservice to themselves. They end up neglecting themselves. After all, a human being only has so much time and energy. if that time and energy expenditure is used up on nonessential focus__
This is something that very few of those advocates-for-extra-education-help-to-juvenile-delinquents seem to "get." They do not comprehend it. [[education authorities]]]
Why is it only noble to help others? Why is it never considered morally "good" to make sure oneself is taken care of? Why is it never considered noble for a person to want to improve their own lot in life?
If a person takes active steps to secure their own future, this is for some reason considered “selfish” by many in this culture.
They think that if someone helps another at the detriment to their own well-being, this is somehow morally superior. This is considered "better," a more grand gesture than if that same someone makes sure their own life is secure and set.
Why is this evil/selfish/etc.? Why is it always considered a "bad" thing to make sure oneself is taken care of?
If I, being one of the good students, make sure I plan for my own future, I should not be demonized. I am not taking anything away from the bad kids. Altruism is great -- once in a while. But It should not be a defining guidance for how the smart kids should conduct their lives.

We should be fostering that talent in the good kids.
should be guiding it, channeling it through training and education
helping focus that raw material talent into (boil it down to its absolute essentials)
refining the crude oil into something valuable that will benefit that individual student, as well as society.
help target it??
