Apples and oranges. Nothing wrong with favoring the good students over the slackers. At least until the system gets fixed. There's a correlation to behavior and grades, and while not every 4.0 student is a role model, and not every failing student is a delinquent, the connection is often there.
If it was, say, a student who was barely passing - the odds would be a lot greater that they intended to hurt the principal out of spite and frustration, a desire to lash out. A student who's doing exceptional (seeing that a 3.4 these days is not only acceptable, but exceptional. Feh.) would have no such reason.
