  No, even ideally it's still wrong. Educators are the arbiters of competence. It's their subjective opinions of you (marked with grades) that literally decide if you eat lobster thermidor or if you eat raman through your life. The greeks had an ideal. It's been so corrupted by the modern system that even the ideal is dead.

Maybe in some rare edge cases. If you were born to a rich family even with midling grades you will remain rich. If you were born to a poor family even with excelent grades you likely won’t raise above middle class, and that if you are lucky. If you were born into a middle class family and you are lucky enough to avoid catastrophies you will likely stay okay, but not lobster termidor every day rich. Honestly it is much more likely that if they give you great grades and put the idea into your head that you should be a poet or a philosopher or similar that they send you down the ramen path. I don’t know where you got this notion.
