The curriculum certainly is a problem. I do not think that it is a root cause. There still a place for curriculum in the approaches I favor.
Certainly would like to see the curriculum thinned and less hours devoted to it. IMHO, eliminating the curriculum would give the constructivist and illiterates
too many opportunities to screw up. Would lead to more problems than we currently have.

I think it is the teacher based schooling system that is broken. It is so incestuous that
there is almost no chance of improving it. Diversity is required within any ecosystem.

Subject vs Process.

The machine that cannot do subject-based would not be able to do process-based.
New Brunswick doesn't have the ressources to embark on process-based approaches.
There is both a litteracy problem, a lack of passion and an absence of "didactique",excuse the french, in regards to those approaches.

But why would we want to depend on schools for learning. There are so many other alternatives.
And learning is too important to put in the hands of politically motivated governments.
