I understand this priest's frustration. As a PSR teacher for 7 years for Confirmation/grade 7&8, I am all too familiar with lukewarm parents and their children, and the "Confirmation is graduation" attitude.
I'm not sure what I think about his new approach. Sure, you will have the kids in it who want to be there, and that would be a pleasure to teach...but what about the rest of them? Doesn't the parish have a duty to at least TRY to catechize ALL the children in the parish and bring them to the sacraments?
