You failed to establish the link between giving up and getting bad grades from hanging out with the funny kids and how any of that is even remotely caused by stereotyping.

I think that is a misreading, they got good grades due their prior stereotype of 'A' student despite doing 'D' student effort.
If their grades never changed it could be they're better at writing than they think, even with low effort.
That scenario seems rather contorted, seems like taste is important part of writing a good essay.
I see what you are saying now. It should be clarified.
