text: It is truthfully a marvelous thing for schools to offer such an excellent option to students who may need it or simply wish to have those great benefits. Whether you are ill, have social anxiety, or simply wanting to learn more, distance learning is beneficial towards you and many other groups. It is a shame that many schools do not offer distance learning as they are doing a disservice by not allowing students to have these benefits that other schools are offering. Students should make their voices be heard and call for schools who do not offer distance learning to immediately offer the option due to its great benefits. There is no doubt in my mind that any student body would not want this option being available to them. You should also call for schools to offer this as an option, as anyone can request for it to happen. If you don't, you are letting all of these great benefits that should be offered not exist to students that genuinely need them. Take the time to stand for what you need, it will only take you minutes to grant you hours of quality education.In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author, Nick D'Alto explains how a recent technology called the "Facial Action Coding System" reveals human emotions in pictures. This is actually rather convincing to believe. How can you identify a picture's emotions through a new software? The use of the new technology, "Facial Action Coding System" used to read facial emotional expressions is not valuable to students in classroom because it seems too expensive for a public school to use, it looks to be more useful at images, and video games.
