My wife (a teacher) says there is some good stuff (the curriculum was badly in need of updating), some stuff that doesn't make sense, and some that is at the wrong grade. One of the challenges is the lack of teaching resources for the new curriculum. For one of the units she's doing with a grade 3 class, the only available resource is a grade 8 textbook. A short-term issue is that because it isn't being updated one grade at a time the students often don't have the background they need (e.g. a grade 3 unit might build on a grade 2 unit, but the grade 3 students took the old curriculum in grade 2).
