Back to the pedagogy.
I can think of few concepts that are more difficult to deal with than
acceleration. If an energy first, or momentum first approach would
allow one to avoid acceleration, so go back to Newton original idea
about force and momentum change, I think it would do a great service.
Of course one would have to check carefully that the sort of conceptual
understanding that John Clement calls for is indeed there.
