My two cents worth.
I rad the unit 1 materials in POT which were on force.  I think
that as long as the student does not think that he is receiving
a "rigorous physics course" he will be all right.  Some of the
term "force" I think is stretched a bit, particularly when
applied to electrical potential.
We are looking at it for our high school.  In Va, you have to
be a certified physics teacher to teach POT.  There is a 3
credit seminar you must attend, if you are a physics teacher.
If you are an IA teacher (Tech Ed in Va), then you not only
have to take the 3 hours of seminar, you also have to get the
magic physics certification.
As a result of this, I think that POT will become the domain of
the physics departments in Va public schools.  Maybe, it weill
become some sort of "applied physics" course -- whatever that
means.  I thought that physics was always applied
