Then you are a worse parent than originally thought and lacrosse is the least of your worries. Those should get off this board and get him the help he needs.
I bet some may be upset and would take issue if the #10 ranked student wanted to be held back a year take all the same course again just so they would get into Stanford. I bet the #1, 2, 3 student may have an issue with it.
I am quite sure the science fairs of the world take issue at a child who may be misrepresenting themselves.

If you hold your kid out of kindergarten because he / she is not mature enough, I have no issue. If you hold your kid back in first grade because he/she is not ready to move on academically, I have no issue.
If you hold him/her back in 8th grade, and you are doing so to give him/her an edge athletically, you ARE cheating.But good luck to you nonetheless.
How do I hold my son back in 8th grade? Seems like a no brainer. What is best way to do this?
Just fail everything in school! Then .....viola....you are reclassified. No you can play down worry free after summer school!
