Until there is a rule against holding your kid back or having him repeat a grade, this isn't cheating. That is a fact. It is a family making a decision, presumably with the child's best interest in mind.   Come on you can't have it both ways.  Society, politicians, and educators all beat into our heads that the best path to prosperity is a high-level education.  As a result, most parents want their kids to get into the best academic institution they can get into. And most children want to do the same.  That is why so many families, including many of you who criticize this practice, spend hundreds if not thousands to get tutoring for the SAT and other standardized test.   And college application consultants.  Poor families cannot do this. Are you cheating?  No, you're doing what you can do within the rules to get the best outcome for your child.  Many of the colleges with strong lacrosse programs are excellent academic institutions. University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, Duke, Johns Hopkins.  I see nothing wrong with doing whatever you can, within the rules, to get your child into one of these schools.[/quote]
