I agree with you.
The changes they were suggesting c.18 months ago weren't improvements at all. I think the best we can hope for from the national curriculum is that they leave it vague enough that NSW can continue with business as usual (at least, as far as the calculus based maths courses go - I wouldn't know about other subjects.)
The courses that we have atm *look* a bit old fashioned, but there is a lot of good mathematics in them. The mechanics part of 4U is particularly vital since they gutted the HSC Physics course in 2000.
