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.

It’s also used in tooling, machining, product design, much of manufacturing, aviation engineering, anything requiring force vectors, which is a lot. I suppose you’ll add all that to your “add it to the x school!” list.
Many of these require learning about complex numbers too (in which case defer trig until after complex numbers, when it becomes trivial) and if not, teach it as a short side course alongside all the other math you need. Don’t make high school students study it!
