My only take on high school math is fuck trigonometry — people who get to complex numbers can treat all of trig as a mildly interesting corollary, essentially no one else needs to know it.

In application but for calc in a class you'll need to know those. It not fun but what can you do?
Oh I don’t know, how about also change calc so that you don’t waste time on yet more pointless trig identities?

It's definitely the worst part of it but that point can cover almost all hs curriculum. It's mostly busy work.

they didn't have trigonometry at my high school, just algebra II, precalculus and calculus

My school went Freshman: Algebra, Sophomore: geometry, Junior: algebra II and Trigonometry, Senior: Precalc and statistics. If you took algebra in 8th grade you ended up being ahead and senior year you took Calc 1 and 2.

Amen! As someone who's spent almost a decade teaching/tutoring couldn't agree more. That being said, one thing I've noticed about calc is how many kids are kinda forced into it (schools look better apparently), it's amazing how many kids who struggle with basics are in it...
