[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a working engineer and my sister teaches university math.  Pre-calc is very very important. It's the foundation of many things that build on it. Early engineering coursework and physics is mostly pre-Cal based.
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.[/quote]

^ 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.
