So memorizing stuff like that for no reason other than to write an exam was a waste of my time. The proper solution is to encourage me to memorize things that are useful to the modern situation.
As far as this plan goes, updating curriculum is a good thing. However, the needlessly aggressive timeline the NDP are working toward indicates this is going to be half-assed.

My concern is that the decisions have already been made and this "review" is a rubber stamp.
