School can be a stressful time for many students and also a time of growth. Especially in high school and even middle school, the childs body is going through puberty. This chemical change in the body can lead to mood swings and other issues especially when school stress is added on top. This technology is capable of indicating "...the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one"(paragraph 7).

SInce the technology would be able to understand the basic emotions like "...happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness" (paragraph 3), this can give a school tons of feedback on how to improve. For example, with negative emotions, a school would be able to improve its cafeteria food quality from knowing what foods are highly unpopular, and as a result save food from wasting. Or during school events, even though the event might be a success knowing how each of the students felt about the event would help with improving it for next year. The addition of this technology would allow a school to be the best the possibly could.

The addition of this facial technology can be quite revolutionary in a school setting. As students often dont share their true feelings, issues can be confronted and the students mentality can be improved. Also a better, and positive learning enviroment can be created. The ability to remove student confusion and make learning interesting would go a long way in helping not only the students grow and move forward positivly, but also the school as a whole.

Venus has challenging clouds that are highly corrosive sulfuric acid. The temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we feel on our own planet. How we know this informaiton can help understand that the author thinks venus has some dangers on it. For example , " These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth ; such an enviroment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals.

Today many people are using technology for many reasons but there is one piece of technology that has been used a lot more recently. The smartphone or mobile phone, many people think that it is not that dangerous but it is as dangerous as most things that can damage or hurt people just not as much. As it can hurt people in many ways the most severe way is to be in a car accident just by looking at a phone for even a second. Not only could that person hurt themself but whomever else is in the car or the person they have crashed into. If it is such a bad way to drive why don't people stop looking at their phones while driving?

Also, in the picture of Mona Lisa the background is of a lonely lake or pond which is also without color. Color shows alot of emotion depending on the colors you use, like dark colors determine sadness and bright colors determine happiness but red is in between and usually determines hate; someone being angry.

This helps them to have a "C" or higher and they can apply what they learn on the field to when they'er off the field. A student in my class is always asking for his absent work because he has to leave early for one of his games. This student doesn't play just one sport but 3. So when he comes back the next day he has to make up all of his work if he wants to stay on the team. An example of applying what student learn on the field to off the field is my friend that plays football. He said to me "I could never make a touch down if some one wasn't covering my blind side",then he said, "It's not about if I win because I would have never maid it if there was no one on the team to cover me." Then the next day at his game he maid sure that the crowds were celebrating him and the team when they won.
