They need to have a class project, try to run a lemonade stand with Marxist ideology.
Pick all the smart industrious students and the lazy good for nothings and put them in a group to run the stand. Make them sell lemonade and give the lazy good for nothing students the same amount of profit from the stand as the ones doing the hard work. Keep going until one of the industrious students complains then mock and belittle them for being “racists and mean spirited”. Keep running the stand and every time the industrious students complain you but back the amount of their share because they are complaining. Give the industrious students the opportunity to leave and form their own stands. See how long it takes for the Industrious kid’s stand to be better than the lazy ran one. Then have the teacher demand that the good student;s stand be “taxed” because it isn’t fair that the original stand isn’t working.
This is how progressives thing, not by merit, but that if your neighbor has something nice they must have “stole” it from you because they project their own worthless incompetence onto others.
Thou shall not Covet = Missed by Progs Completely!

They already do this. It is called “Group Projects”. My very bright daughter (13) was in tears after getting stuck twice in a row with a couple of goofballs. “Why do it if we’re just going to get a bad grade anyway? Why do I have to do all the work? It’s not fair!”
When she said the “It’s not fair” she laughed, as that was their first life lesson ingrained on them since the age of two!”
It was a teaching moment. Yes - they (the teachers) are trying to break you. Don’t let them do it. You work hard for YOUR grade. If the other slouchers ride your coat-tails this time - so what. They will fail in the end and you will move on.
And - it is good experience for life. When you work in an office and you have to work with other slouchers and idiots.
