She can tell who breezed through it to get to calc and then have issues in Diff Eq and beyond. I would not do it as a summer class.


OP Here,

This is my thought. Building a foundation for math is better especially for strong math skills later in the harder college-level math courses.


^ I agree this is most important. It's an education that will serve them for the rest of their journey. It's not a race (though sometimes can feel like that). If DC summits a great, compelling application, the reason for not getting in will NOT be the lack of MVC/Linear. You know your child best. Rushing ahead and getting into trouble in BC doesnt help the narrative at all. Only raises questions - which you dont want in admissions.
