INTERVIEW WITH LINDA LACOUR HOBAR (Third Part)


6. How should we teach History? How can we make History interesting for the students?

I think that history should be taught chronologically. It makes the most sense to see the cause and effect from one generation to the next. Each era feeds the other. I prefer to teach students about people rather than about dates and events. People are far more interesting than treaties and wars and inventions. Of course, they are all related, but I like to teach using biographies first, the events second.

7. How is home school education? Why is it important?

Home education is a growing trend in the United States. As public classrooms have grown more secular, many families choose alternatives. Private schools are a good option but many find them too expensive. The home is an excellent place to learn in the loving context of the family. It does require diligence and self-initiative. These are great traits that must be developed to be a successful homeschooler.

8. What is your opinion about American Education? What should be changed about them?

American education is good and bad. There are still some excellent schools, but overall, the quality of education has declined in our nation as students struggle with authority, discipline, and maintaining a work ethic. Broken homes contribute to difficulties in school. I do not know how schools can improve the quality of life of students from difficult homes. I do think the schools could better apply discipline and expect hard work.
