College Board's Transition from Physics B AP to Physics 1/2 AP an Epic Failure?

[skieurope]

Some schools are making it work. May D’s school teaches Physics 1/2 as one class

They’re making it work because they did not drink the Kool-Aid. Teaching Physics 1/2 as one course runs counter to the CB’s “advice.”

Can I teach AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 in one year?
We recommend that schools with an introductory or honors physics course consider adapting it to cover the AP Physics 1 college-level curriculum, beginning in fall 2013, and offering AP Physics 2 in the subsequent year. As an alternative, after taking AP Physics 1, students can take either of the AP Physics C courses or other AP science courses, as AP Physics 1 provides excellent preparation for future science course work.
