Here's a crazy idea... let's stop treating curriculums like silver bullets and realize that no matter what we do we're not going to succeed with the current system of "hope your innate talents match up with the current education model du jour". Education needs to be radically tailored to individual students or we're going to continually be trapped in this vicious cycle of "Current education paradigm X is broken, paradigm Y will solve all of our problems!" (where Y ∈ {"more math!", "more programming!", "more fundamentals!", "more application!", ...}). Yes, highly customized education doesn't scale. Yes, it's very expensive. But sacrificing future generations on the altar of "efficiency" seems highly suspect to me, and the honest fact is if the incentives within the American (sorry non-US people!) education system were properly aligned we would be much farther along. Granted, that's a difficult task, but I didn't get into computers so I could spend my time working on easy problems.
