text: The main reason why using the FACS to read emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable is because of the importance of expressing human emotions to others. In a world full of new technology that is constantly being improved, it is appealing for people to try out new gadgets and devices. However, as people are connecting with technology instead of connecting with other human beings face to face, the social aspect of humans is failing. In Nik D'Alto's article about the FACS, he excitedly asks readers the question, "Hold on! Can we actually 'calculate' emotions - like math homework?" The FACS's goal is to "'calculate' emotions - like math homework." The FACS denies students the chance to feel empathy for others. If students are constantly concerning themselves with what the computer "calculate[d]" their emotions to be, then students feel like they can only express themselves through technology. As a result, no human connection is made when students are having a conversation face to face. Emotions are meant to be shared and expressed freely so that friendly relationships can be made; they are not meant to be solved like "math homewrk" in a classroom. The FACS takes away the human and social connection between students, which is extremely important for students to build healthy relationships and make smart decisions.
