Abstract

The last time I reported to chemists on The Physics Teacher, it was to emphasize the differences between chemistry and physics teaching. In this report I wish to de-emphasize these differences, and to make the point that physics teachers have problems very similar to those of chemistry teachers. Recent TPT editorials give voice to how similar our concerns are.
