No, doing pre-first or repeating a grade in school, is not cheating at anything. That is a false, negative statement, and is useless rhetoric. The differing curriculums expose a contentious debate, but no, nothing you state represents cheating or anything of a nefarious nature. Playing up until the HS years is the best way to improve for any kid that is able, so that should be encouraged at the youth level in grade-based systems. That is a positive statement that makes sense. If we had more positive parents, coaches, and club directors, and less idiots like yourself, than we would probably see more kids playing up for the right reasons, and less kids playing down for the wrong reasons. But we don't have that, and instead, we have mostly folks that can find something to complain about at the drop of a dime, and take every opportunity to do so. As a result, like the boy who cried wolf, nobody is interested anymore and just keeps plugging along until the checks stop coming or clearing. So take a number in line, and actually, screw you.
