Practice identifying and explaining the value and descriptive assumptions for the following passage:

Online schooling is starting to become a popular alternative to the traditional classroom. Online schooling certainly has some benefits, but the downsides outweigh the advantages. For example, children who use online schooling miss out on social interactions with other children that traditional schooling brings. These interactions are just as important to a child's development as the lessons they receive in school. Students who don't experience this contact with their peers run the risk of becoming antisocial and isolated. Children enrolled in online schooling also do not experience an interpersonal connection with multiple teachers. When a student has a variety of teachers, students gain from the different viewpoints they encounter while working with those teachers. Traditional schooling provides a variety of teachers who can inspire a love of learning much better than any program on a dim computer screen ever could.

Analysis

Conclusion: Online schooling is inferior to traditional schooling.

Reasons:

1. Children enrolled in online schooling miss out on important social interactions with their peers.
2. Children enrolled in online schooling do not experience multiple teachers in-person.
