Sometimes you get great advice from people, sometimes terrible. You never know people’s expertise or motivation, you just need to sort through it and take the good advice.

People may call certain actions “gaming the system”. I call it intelligent strategy. Figure out what you or your child need to do to achieve their goals, and optimize your actions to achieve it. If you don’t care enough to take the trouble to do so, then the goal is not important enough. Nothing is worth cheating or lying for, but strategy and preparation is commendable, and your child deserves credit for going the extra step.

You’re always going to find detractors, no matter what you do. Ignore them.
