That's what I found when I tried teaching it for 2 years in Hanover Co.
However, I am not a super-organized type.  Another way to approach it
(which you have to do anyway) is to leave out topics.  If the students
thoroughly master the most basic concepts, I think they will get a
better score than if they are exposed to all of physics.
