I think it is fair, but I think there are ways to give students who need it extra attention without singling them out. Children are smarter than we give them credit for, they know when they're being judged or singled out by adults and peers.
I was in the “slow” reading group for the first half of first grade, then quickly got moved to the “fast” group and eventually ended up scoring a perfect score on the verbal portion of the MCAT as well as top percentiles on other standardized tests. My point is that sometimes remedial has nothing to do with potential.
We should stop viewing remedial as “bad.”
