God, you guys are delusional as you are uneducated. STRONG ISLAND!
No when you go through you entire school career in your original class, and you don't get left back a year to gain an advantage, either because your not as smart, or as good as the competition, and you take an extra year for any reason your not cheating. You fools down in Maryland just simply can not compete with the kids from STRONG ISLAND without getting a "do over" in the 8th grade because your not as good even with the 3 afore mentioned kids from STRONG ISLAND, up here it's a black mark if you have to repeat a grade, you idiots wear it as a badge of honor
