Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The use of the Facial Action Coding System in classroom computers seems like a smart and innovative idea, but not every student may agree. The technology could effectively see if a student is bored or confused, but may not be able to detect if a student is really learning. This new technology may not be effective and could disrupt a student's learning and the system of schools in a number of ways.

Every student is different and unique in their own way. Their hair color, skin color, height, and race. This statement is also true when it comes to a student's unique and preferred learning style. Some students may learn better by taking colorful notes or just plainly listening to a teacher's lecture. Some students learn better by filling out charts and organizers, but some students may learn better by watching a video. The idea of the Facial Action Coding System is to make an online lesson less confusing or boring, but if a student can't grasp a concept from an online lesson or video then the system is useless for that specific student.

Going along with the topic of different learning styles, the technology is valuable only for computers. This causes leaving out how a student learns with paper notes or a textbook. In most high schools and schools in general, there is usually always an online version of the textbooks. It's not rare to see high school students carrying their paper textbooks because it is easier for them to grasp the concepts by being able to read and feel the pages of a book. A computer with new technology is also useless for that student.

Students who learn by watching videos or having an online lesson have to battle the risk of getting distracted. It's easy enough to get distracted by opening a new tab and playing a game, or browing to find fresh conspiracy theories to read. It is possible that this new system could be as easily as distracting. Students may spend their time trying to falsely give the system a face, mimicing the movements of the "orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus" muscles that signal a genuinely happy face. This leads to a student spending more time trying to trick the system rather than paying attention to the lesson and disrupting their own learning by doing so.

The Facial Action Coding Sytem in schools would "modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor," as Dr. Huang predicts. If there is technology that modifies a lesson to be more effective for a student then the positions of techer would become less valued. Teachers would go to college and spend great deals of money only to become a backup instructor for the new technology and more like a chaperone for students. If everything can be found online, including textbooks and lessons, then what position does a teacher hold?

Altough the new Facial Action Coding System proves how innovative and resourceful technology is becoming, it could become less effective and valued by schools. It seems like a good idea for computers to become emapathetic and understand nonverbal communication like humans do, but not when it makes human interaction and teaching less valuable. It seems like it could be a great and effective system for workpaces, but it may not be the right match for students in school.
