@Felthry Also teach it from first principles instead of just writing down steps to problems and expecting us neurodivergent folks to magically figure it out in 2 seconds.
@FreyaManibrandr trigonometry is particularly bad with this
everything makes more sense if you use the complex exponential form of the trigonometric functions but for some reason people are terrified of the idea of showing kids imaginary numbers

@Felthry I think a big mistake is calling it imaginary rather than complex numbers, because complex numbers are anything but imaginary.
When people talk about imaginary numbers, they think of a cheating tool they use sparingly and with shame if they have to. When complex numbers is just as important, if not more than simple numbers.
