Should my rising senior take Physics when the teacher is not great?

Our son had a similar problem but opted to take AP Physics anyway. His teacher wasn’t disinterested in teaching but he was brand new to teaching physics and admitted he was out of his depth. So we got a local physics tutor to supplement our son’s in-class learning and our son also regularly sat in on another higher level AP physics course taught by a more experienced teacher in the school whenever he had a free class period.
