Many parents opt for educating their
children
 at home, rather than sending them to school for education. Meanwhile, I realize the effectiveness of
this
 method, I hold the belief that its flaws overshadow the benefits. On the one hand, it can not deniable that homeschooling is an optimum method for some kids, especially
children
 who are endowed with gifted abilities.
In other words
, the school's syllabus cannot adequately address the

On the other hand
, there are some plausible disadvantages of tutoring
children
 at home rather than school attendance in terms of communication and cooperation.
First
 and foremost, the most obvious downside of
this
 measure is that these

This
 means they may have difficulties in socializing not only with their peer but

 they receive the knowledge from.
In addition
, homeschoolers are not taught in a team so that they may fail to be a good team player and join in any team-building activities. A lack of social and communicative interaction can hinder the growth of interpersonal skills in the future. In conclusion,
although
 I think homeschooling is a suitably educational option for some
children
, I do believe the strengths of traditional classrooms far outweigh its drawbacks.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
