Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I do not think that the technology to read the emotional expressions of a student in a classroom is valuable because the coast is proably astronomical, how people feel inside is personal information, and it might not even be completely correct.

Facial Action Coding System is a new technology that is still in trial and error. You can not use the program on just any computer which means you have to buy special software to be able to use it. Not only would you have to buy the software to use it you would also have to buy the computer program, and because its still not completely finished you would be buying something that could crash which means you're pouring your money into something that might not even function properly.

Your emotions are personal and sometimes you dont want everyone to know how you feel. With the Facial Action Coding System you would be able to know how everyone feels. That seems like an invasion of space and unfair to those who do not want their business out in the open for everyone to know. if schools did end up having this program i think there should be rules and guidelines to prevent invasion of privacy like you can only test picture of peoples faces who consent.

There is no solid proof that the Facial Action Coding System is always correct. in the passage they never said wether or not they had a testing trial to prove the acuracy of this program. If the passage provided information on how they tested it on people and the results came back correct that would make it more desirable, but there isnt anything in the passage that shows that we can trust this software program.

I do not believe that this program would be valuable for students in a classroom, the price is more then likely out of budget and there is no proof that this program is even reliable. The program doesnt seem like it would help with very many subjects in school and there is still no proof of it working.
