No kidding.

Also, it depends on the college, but sometimes you will want to be taking one or more math classes to fill some requirements. From what I know, it is extremely rare for a HS MVC course to prevent you from taking MVC again in college. Which may sound wasteful, but I think often you will actually get a lasting benefit from that.

If you instead take a college MVC class in the summer, though, I think that complicates that being an option. And again, why? If the idea is colleges will want to see that when doing admissions, I am sure that is not remotely true.

Of course if this kid absolutely loves math and wants to do that with their summer, then fine. But only under those circumstances would I consider it.
