Well it is the same point when dealing with academics if a child is repeating a grade and they where not behind or struggling in this grade this would also be a unfair advantage to the other kids. What would be said about a child repeating a grade to increase there chance at being #1 in there class? We all know that some schools are taken off the table the second your child gets a B in high school. would everyone be fine with a kid reclassing to get that B up to a A.

2. If you retake the class you still need to do the work to get the grade. that grade is based on your performance alone, not your relative performance in relation to the other students. When you reclass on the field the work gets a lot easier because the competition is smaller, slower, weaker.
3. If repeating a grade improves ability to distinguish "there" from "their" and "where" from "were" then you should have done that.
