No.
All in all I believe everything depends on the student. A student can be extremely hardworking and get all the work needed done, or a student can be lazy and not get anything done. Then the lazy student can blame the curriculum and say it's too difficult, but the school has the hardworking students to reject that idea, because they are a living example that you can do it. However, I also believe schools don't consider external matters such as personal life and mental health, which is why students can be labeled as 'lazy', when in reality, they are not, and just aren't in the right mindset.
To me, I set myself standards for school but when summer comes around my mentality does a 180. I want nothing to do with school when summer starts. I consider myself to be a great student in school but I work extremely hard to do so. It is not easy to get straight A's. You have to work for it. I have never been in a situation where I can just disregard any care for school and be a exemplary student.
So, my answer is no. The curriculum is not easy.
