PG is clearly different. It means that the school and the kid said I need to get my grades up to perform in your institution, I have plenty of athletic ability but they want to see me get my grades up. I am not competing against younger kids today, but I will be next year.
It is not cheating.
The point is that the year of age matters alot at 8th grade, but very little after HS. Most kids are fully grown in 12th grade, most are not fully gown at 14 or 15. that is the difference.
Holding back an 8th grader to get a physical advantage over boys in the middle of puberty is cheating. It is common sense and people who do it plainly admit they are doing so to give their kid an advantage. They just dont like the fact that others call them cheaters.
How is it not cheating when North Carolina says to a 9th grader we will give you a spot in the following year's class after you PG. Hardly about grades. They did it this year with a current 2017 from texas who agreed to PG
PG means post grad. After HS is over you do a year at a PG school. Not cheating at all. The kid then goes to college a year later and plays against kids who are older than him. Repeating a year of school in 8th grade to gain an advantage by dropping into the lower grad year is pure cheating.
My mommy says its only cheating if its against the rules.
