For most colleges, you don’t need calculus to even get in.
I think it’s too much pressure on kids.
Perhaps the student can recover (meaning learn the concepts) and excel in the future.
But let’s say they never got to calc (let alone in the 10th grade) - even without calc, they’ll still be able to go to a great college.
Worry about learning…not where you go to school.
And in 10th grade…perhaps you’ll have another chance to take again (if you want).
