Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author, Nick D'Alto tells the reader about new computer software that can identify huma n emotions. This new technology is called the Facial Action Coding System. D'Alto portrays this new science as very benificial to the world in many different fields.

One way this new technology can be used, is as a human instructor in the classroom. Dr. Huang states, " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." Detecting these features would then lead the system to modify the lesson to hep the students who are struggling in the class, or struggling to stay awake in class.

I disagree with D'Alto's claims of this new system being benificial to students. No computer software can replace a real human teacher. No computer software can detect human emotions as well as a human can. There is something about real human connection between teacher and student, that can't be replaced by technology. Also, with multiple students in every class room, the software would have to detect the emotions for every student in the class. Not every student will feel confused during the same time. Some students will be confused during one part of the lesson, and others at different times. This would lead to a flaw in the system, because the software wouldn't know when to change the lesson plan, because it's getting several different readings' from the students.'

In conclusion, no technology can replace a real human teacher. Not only would this new technology take away thousands of jobs across the country if put into classroom's, but students would lose the connection between themselves and their teacher. Sure, some teachers are better than others, but it is still a relationship between two people that a student gets to experience and mature in. Respecting your teacher as a student, will lead to respecting your boss when you get a job in the future. You can respect a person, but you can't respect a computer. This is still true even if the Facian Action Coding System could detect the emotion of "respect" one day.
