Private schools typically suggest and offer pre-1st. Unless it is a national conspiracy among private schools to drive up early high school college lacrosse commitments that was collaborated 20 or so years ago, I would contend there is no gaming of any system, other than maybe a system of inventing an extra school year worth of tuition for a great percentage of paying families. Many people on here probably could have used that extra year, and I would contend that the concept was thoughtfully developed by mostly good people, with education as the primary focus. To say that the government model of grades 1-12, unchanged for let's say 60-70 years, is the gold standard of excellence in education would be questionable at best.
No one cares about Private schools and doing PreFirst..No one cares what you do for your child to get him a good education..
Most dont even care when it comes time for you to be on your HS team.
What people DO CARE about is the gaming of YOUTH SPORTS.. Specifically gaming Youth lacrosse! Many feel letting a select group of children play down goes against what YOUTh sports is about.
