Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I think it is very capable of being used in a classroom or elsewhere to use. In paragraph 3, it states that the technology scans 44 muscles in our face precisely, to determine how they have moved to show emotion. If a prinipal was talking to two students in his/her office who were in conflict, the prinicpal could hear both sides of the story, and then use that technology to scan the students' faces to see how they were feeling. If one felt 83% angry, and the other only felt 36% angry, he could talk to the kid that was more angry to try to get him to calm down. If he thought one of the kids was only pretending to be happy, he could scan their face as well and determine what emotions they were actually feeling.

In paragraph 7, the author explains how the technology can pin-point the facial muscle movement in order to precisely tell how the person is feeling. If a person was faking a smile, the scanner would detect that, because it says that when a person is not genuinely happy, their "smile" goes more sideways, and their cheeks don't move up. When a person is showing a real smile, their cheeks go up and their eyes squint, like crows feet.

So if a student and another student were in a principals office over a fight, instead of the principal asking them "How are you guys feeling?", he could just simply scan their faces' 44 muscles and let the software determine how they were feeling.

I like the idea of the facial scanning technology, but realistically, we probably won't have this in our schools anytime soon. It would cost too much and it isn't really a need. It is a helpful tool, but teachers and administrators don't need it when dealing with students.
