text: Bullying is a serious issue. It can sometimes be hard to spot and to solve, and no matter how hard people try, it never goes away. It's always there in the hallways of some schools, lurking over some and haunting them. Yet, what if there was a way to reduce bullying in a big way? Well, now there is with the help the FACS. FACS could reduce bullying because it would be able to identify if, for an extended period of time, a child was feeling sad and/or scared. Then a teacher would know something is up. "By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions..."(D'Alto). Since this software can recognize mixed emtions, it would be able to tell if a child was showing the side effects of being bullied. By recognizing that if a child is being bullied, would help the child because they could talk to an adult and hopefully the problem would be solved. Also, if bullies knew that this software was in schools, then they would be less likely to bully because there would be a greater likeliness of them being caught. Overall, lower levels of bullying would result in higher self-esteem and confidence which then can be reflected in acedemics.
