IXL

Ixl is stupid because i'm in 5th grade an if you get one question wrong, then boom your score goes really down. It is not fair how the score goes down really low and that is your hard work you lose the points and it doesn't really sometimes tell you what you got wrong

IXL gives kids anxiety and depression. It teaches kids to hate teachers, school, learning, etc. Paul Mishkin made this horrible website, and should face the consequences of his actions. PLEASE BAN IXL!

This helps none. When I do IXL for homework I will be answering questions and then I will get one wrong and it will tell me the same answer that I wrote is wrong even though the app said it's right. Yes! I got one right. I get three points. Ugh I got one wrong. Guess 20 points get taken away. Like the point system is diabolical. When I get it wrong it makes me less and less confident. IXL is not a good learning site

From tobin engelhard "The problem about IXL is it's rigged. The point system is glitched and it doesn't help kids. I looked at recent reviews and it actually makes students less engaged in the lesson IXL has to offer. Also, I found that some of the lessons make you assume genders. This makes students very stressed when they are in the "Challenge Zone" and they get a question wrong and are back down to like 80-78.

This can be resolved by just getting rid of IXL from public education in all the states of the U.S. and maybe other countries. We must get rid of this IXL website for the good of us students."

It is dumb and pointless. I hate it so much it is $#*!ed. I much rather actually learn in front of a teacher than do this. The smart score is rigged I'll be at 99 and get one question wrong and it brings me down to an 83 like that is the only one I got wrong.

This site is horrible. It requires students to do a "smart score" system that promotes stress and ends up with them crying or physically damaging their Chromebooks. We had to remove this from the school system due to the influx of people going to the school therapists and parents calling the school complaining about this program. We do not recommend this program. The picture displayed is of the school line for therapy outside of program building 5. Please do not use this very poorly designed program for your school system.

It is really sad that some of us have to do so much IXL for in stance my Friend Kam has been doing IXL for a long time but he said he has not learned anything. Last year my class completed almost 2,000 hours.

NOTHING about this helped me. I fear this is stunting my education as a whole, and preventing me from getting any smarter. It brings me so much stress, confuses me so much. I enjoy that there is a ¨Learn with an example¨ button. But when you answer one question, even if you get it wrong, you can not click it again. Even my parents struggle with this. This must be some alien way of teaching kids. Why do teachers use this god awful site? That is an excellent question. Why? If you look at the reviews, the average is 1.6 stars. Yet despite this, every single god forsaken school I see uses this site. This has to be some buisness trick. This is dirty. I literally have to decide between by grades or my sanity. I choose my sanity. You should choose yours.

The reason I hate IXL is that whenever I get to a smart score that my teacher assigned and get one wrong let's say I was at an 89 smart score and got 1 wrong takes me back to a 75 smart score. It makes me feel so bad when they give you that "sorry incorrect" response when you get one wrong makes me feel like I want to break my computer. It just ruins my day. I just wish the creator of IXL just dropped dead right now.

IXL is very stressful as IXL would take away 20 points as if were to get a question wrong. There are also some lessons that make it so you would have to type in the answer as you could be typing fast as you would get the question wrong. Some of them are super hard and some of them are really easy. To do. IXL is in a way a good way to home school but I would give it in smaller amounts if you are going to do it.

The smart score system has gotten better but it still sucks! The app is ok for learning, but the smart score always makes me VERY stressed. Teachers always assign me work on IXL. While I do learn things on IXL, I spend more time raging on how much my smart score goes down when I get one wrong. Very annoying app\

I guess it is ok, it barely grasps on the learning side tho, yes you learn some that's the entire point of the website but it doesn't grasp on learning on the fun bit it was created for children to have fun while learning and they have overly terrible on that, wouldn't recommend to your child unless they wanna just learn basic things.

Every time I click an answer it takes away only 1 I have to rate one star because of losing points on it

So early today I was doing IXL at school. I was already in a bad mood as I was tired and and was hungry. So we have to get to 90 so after a good 20 question I get to 84 I was happy because I was close then Suddenly I get 2 incorrect in a row and boom bam bop im down to 52 this has me make an action of ripping my pencil bag in half. There is a petition about banning IXL in amercia which I wold like you to sign please Here is link:

Thank you!

If you get one question wrong it literally takes you back 10 points but if you get one question correct you get only one point. When I was at my friends house he was so mad and stressed because of this app and I saved him from breaking his laptop. I suggest you don't get this dumb app.

Hey ixl i think you shouldn't make us have to pay will you please just let it be free if you do you can say hey if you want extra cool stuff and let the cool stuff cast money please let it be free i love you ixl bye.

IXL is very much rigged. When you get a question wrong your score goes down more than how much you get when you get it right. IXL doesn't engage you in learning. In fact, IXL makes you not want to learn anymore.

It has a a lot of issues like a part that you will get wrong if you do not put a capital letter even though the word that you answer is correct or not and it is really painful to see that $#*! of the smart score go down. A lot of teacher thinks that ixl is perfect but for me is a total bull$#*! and is more a torture than a learning tool

I feel that this website is a good and effective tool for students to learn skills that they may lack in and struggle with. I strongly feel that this is a great and effective way of learning, and I also enjoy doing the assignments as well. I am a current student and think that this is a great privilege to be able to use this site in learning.

It is a bad experience and they say "fun math and language arts games with prizes and learning games! It is the perfect resource!" but it is boring and uninteresting, and misleading. And it does not help with tests. Our average grade percentage in my class is 80% but on our tests on IXL was about 65%.

First of all, IXL is lying because they say 12 Million people use IXL. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Everyone gives bad reviews. So, why would 12 MILLION PEOPLE USE IT! Second, it makes me MAD! Say your smart score is 99 and then one mistake takes you back to 88. Rarely even 59. If you get a question right, it only gives you 2 or 1 point. Once, It made my Brother cry. It does not encourage kids it makes it their fault. It makes them mad! This app is great to use if you want to make someone cry.

IXL is not only helping kids practice skills like prepositions or decimals, but it gives them encouraging rewards for their efforts. Although many kids complain and dislike IXL greatly, I believe that that is because it DOES have some improvements to be made. While IXL seems really boring, it is helping your mind develop and learn. I can understand people who don't like it, but that is only because I know the reasons and I can relate. Please note that the reason the curriculum might include IXL is because they know how useful it is. Teachers would not make kids work on it if they didn't approve of IXL, which they obviously do. I'm no expert on teaching kids, but I think that teachers would only allow their students to do work on learning platforms that they actually think are good. It's also useful because teachers can assign skills that they know the kids have room for improvement for.

IXL when you get it right in the 80+ "smartscore" you only get 2 points! Per question correct. When you get it wrong it bumps you down 10 points! And has false info. Counts it incorrect even though it is correct
