text: Now back to something that I mentioned earlier. I said something about a test. This test can be a one time thing, or you can have us take it once a semester. Whatever makes you feel better. I realize that there are state standards and such, but some kids just don't meet those standards. They try very hard to, but they can't. If you were to change the policy, I suggest making a test that covers all the subjects. Make it to see if these kids are capable of actually doing the work. Give these kids a fair chance. If you just change the school policy without anybody's consent or making it very unfair to people, people will start to get mad. They will not be happy with the decision that you made. I suppose that I have no power over your decision, but I hope that you can see things from my point of view. At least just to analyze it. I know that maybe we aren't matching up to the standards and that's why you're planning on changing the school policy, but you have to realize that some of these kids just can't make it. We try very hard. Like I said at the beginning, some of us spend more time training than with schoolwork. Others of us more time with schoolwork than training. If we don't get a fair shot at this, then we'll never succeed.I think we should keep the electoral collage beacause it has worked this long for us so we know its gonna work so why not keeep it going. It keeps a steady stream when it comes time to vote because aslong as someone had 270 votes you know thats who will get picked. so why try changing that and have a whole new system put in and then not know what to do when it comes time to vote. And what if the new system dosent work, what if the new way of the voting process messes with the tallys and they come out wrong and no one will get picked, unlike the other way when u know everything will come out right and u know that we will have a president. I think its fair that they have it set at 270 for voting that way everyone havs a chance to vote instead of it being so low that only a few people get to vote before they shut it down because they have reached there number of tallys that they need.  So if they change the number of tallys that a president needs to become president that will be stupid and people will act out on it because they wont think its right, and because the people who didnt vote will not like the fact that they didnt get to put there vote f in before they stoped the voting and because they meet the number that they needed. Its a vote why do they need to title it as a the vote of a president or a popular vote of a president. Why not just vote for there just electors instead of saying vote for your candidate when really you are just voting for the electors. If you are voting for a certin thing there is no reason that u have to re-word it just to vote, if you are voting for something do it the right way instead of changing stuff and making it seem one way when really its the other way. Why should the electoral get just as much as the winning presindent? They are not doing as much as the president  and who is helping him out.. so they should not get the same reword.    "Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions." -Nick D'Alto. The FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is very amusing system that can read how a human is feeling. The thought of a computer software being able to decipher what I'm feeling is shocking. I believe the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of a student in a classroom is valuable. There are many reasons why I agree with the use of the FACS. For instint, technlogy would be able to identify how you feel about what you're learning, it'll make you a more emotional person,and it will help you stay on task. I think the FACS has a good chance of changing the future in a possitive way.
