I can not even get over how bad this curriculum is. I would need way more room to go into full detail. Every aspect of this curriculum is awful. The homeschool bundle comes with ZERO answers to any of the problems or tests. The website is not user friendly at all. I never was able to figure it out despite spending hours of time devoted to it. I feel so bad for teachers or students who are forced to use this. I ended up sucking up the money and ordered a real math curriculum from bju press

Pearson/Savass Realize's problems are fine but seriously, what's wrong with the correcting system? It has one answer and only that one. Even if you write something like 1+1, it says your incorrect and it corrects it to 1+1=2! The sign that comes up after you get something incorrect seems in a really intimating tone like "Wrong!). And the questions are just really unnecessarily long. Seriously, I don't recommend this website, it's a giant waste of time.

I have been using this for awhile now and its awful! The explaining in the questions just make it more confusing, and it always lags and barley works. I wish I could give this a zero. And many parents don't understand. People always have to ask their teachers for help and sometimes the teachers don't even understand. Please do not buy this program. Whoever created this should of done tests to see if it was helpful. I am sorry, but this is horrible. When you press the 'help me solve this' they explain it so bad. I have to write everything down then try to do it myself. Which takes awhile. Please take a second and see if you agree with me. Thank you.

It just never works. Sometimes I can't read the text because it gets cut off, my friends have had problems where videos won't load, it gets rid of my answers all the time, it often won't let me submit my work, it's laggy and very annoying. And it makes me wanna bash my head into a piece of metal until either the metal dents or I pass out. Hopefully the latter so I don't have to use this anymore.

A word to the wise: Do not purchase any homeschool bundles from Savvas as they will not renew any digital licenses and will expect you to purchase a BRAND NEW bundle, even when you already have the textbook.

This happened to me, just now. I have their World History textbook (which I purchased last year for $160) and simply needed to renew the digital license so that we could continue the lessons online. They informed me that I would have to buy a brand new bundle for another $160 dollars, which includes another textbook that I don't need.

I'm not sure that this is a way to rob homeschoolers of their money, or to simply meet a bottom line, but the logic of their business plan makes no sense.

We do not have that sort of disposable income to throw around.
I urge you to really look into the companies that you buy curriculum from and know whether or not they will renew licenses or not. Because Savvas seems like a scam to me.

My school uses this website pretty much all the time. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to use it for the curriculum this year. So I began using it and the dumb website would no even load with the fastest wifi.

As you all know this is a $#*!ing $#*!ty website and I think that if you like this website you should go to hell. I opened 1 Savvas realize website and it crashed on my iMac and it made me have stress issues and a knife hit my head wanting to kill myself because of this website so do not touch this website.

Its okay with it things and stuff but the correcting system just sucks. I honestly think Savvas is made by a bunch of 9 yr olds. And then the loading. It just is crap. Sometimes Savvas sleeps even more when its supposed to be awake. It would take a few hours to load. My school uses this website and I want them to remove it for learning.

Tip for consumers:
I wouldnt use it as a learning website in school
Google says it ranks 71st among Kids Educational Resources sites.

Savvas Realize is not developmentally appropriate and is ineffective at best. The problems are poorly written and confusing. Trick questions and answers are infuriating. This program is not good for students' self esteem and will not foster a love of math. It is good for torturing the unfortunate students, parents, and teachers who are forced to use it. It's garbage and a prime example of what is wrong with our education system today. This should not be used in any school that cares about their students.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't

The "correct answers" are not at all correct! It hurts my head and I hate it. It is very confusing, not helping you learn Spanish, but making it so that EVERY word is in the language you don't know. It is not at all a good site, for anyone, and it is very harsh at grading. -4,000 stars out of 5. I wish it could go down that low.

Savvas doesn't give you another chance to correct your mistakes. It just says "incorrect" discouraging you. And even if you put the right answer, it will say no. And it takes forever to load even with fast wifi. Whoever made this needs to make this user-friendly.

It's an officially the worst thing ever existed! I literally died while doing it! And the teacher was forcing us get a perfect score, and yell at us if we don't! And it kicks ppl out every five minutes fr. Also it has 6-7 parts a question! The Saint Emu Otori, the God of WONDERHOY doesn't approve it!

This site is very bad. When I did a test today, I tried my best but then when I clicked on submit test, it gave me 55% with 16 right and 5 wrong. I searched up test scoring calculator and when I did that, it said 76.19%. This website doesn't get the test scores right. I would not recommend this site at all.

The books and topics in the new edition are not student and teacher-friendly. There is also no practice for vocabulary and conventions. Even the conventions don't have an answer key in the teacher edition. And it also has one of the heaviest websites which takes a very long time for showing a page. As a teacher, I don't recommend this curriculum.

This app is such a waste of time. It puts what im not even learning on it and even my teacher stopped using savvas when we do tests and when you are on the last work it puts 2 questions but they are endless and they put horrible wording if i where you i would forget about using it. I think its a scam my school is paying money on this. This. Crappy stupid website, im giving you advice dont use it for your school or even your class alright because it does not help nor is it fun it may tell you its fun and kids love it but i love math and this thing ruined it. And it also says i have not done something when i have. Please do not buy this.

Nothing. Just a bunch of stupidity and stress. They just make you do what they want you to do and don't let teachers do the planning. Its like the are on a throne and enslaving children like me. Plus, they add harder first and easy last and mostly hard. Plus, they just make you do stuff like 4 units back ago and its not even related to the topic. The loading takes like your time of death. The answers are nothing but a stupid random answer. They can make Savvas a Castle of Goodness and we'd rate it only 1 and half. Maybe Sapphire X. Is a worker from Savvas (since Samuel Pearson died). D:< (I hope they jump off The Empire State Building and after that I would be able to give it a zero) Oh the title is a troll on pearson realize.

The website keeps telling me that something went wrong and won't let me complete my assignments. I also can't finish some of them because it makes you "interact" with them and even after I read everything and answered all the questions, it says I didn't complete them.

I'm currently using this source as an online history textbook, and I couldn't be more infuriated at how inconvenient the UI is. First, I have to open thousands of tabs to even access a textbook section, and then when I hover over one of the keywords for my notes they're in Spainsih? It honestly seems like Savvas is trying to punish users for wanting an ounce of convenience. It's either I bring a 2-pound textbook from school to home, or manually type in text from the textbook (because Savvas doesn't allow copy and paste, god forbid students copy down things for notes) to google translate one by one. All I want to do is write my history notes quickly.

This program is generally helpful. I mostly gave it three stars because it over-explains the concept, which is an amazing problem to have. Occasionally there is, however, no correct answer on multiple choice tests. As far as helping me understand concepts goes, Savvas Realize is a good program. Unfortunately, the bads outweigh the goods at times.

You are corrupting children and ruining our learning experience. You are the ones making school a horrible experience. Not only are you teaching us nothing you are creating a dystopic school environment. You are impacting the way we learn and not in a good way. You are causing extra stress and making school a place that is almost impossible to learn so just stop, you are ruining our lives.

I can't think of a time were I didn't go home and cry. My teacher teaches the topic great, but then Savvas just makes it ten times harder. Last night, I spent two hours crying because I couldn't understand how it was even remotely similar to what he taught me. Feeling very suicidal because of my grades dropping because of Savvas. 0/10 kill me pls

In Algebra 1, you have to round to a whole number. This is not educative. I now have to redo the whole problem just because you have to round to a whole number because my computer screen was too small to read the miniscule text of "round to the nearest whole number." You also are not permitted to have improper fractions, even though in two years you will be in Algebra 2. If we did not use this program in class, I wouldn't have had to redo the whole problem, which took me around a half an hour. If you are like my class and don't like to struggle, this is not the program for you. Actually this is not the program for anyone. If you are not having a good time, which you won't, have fun reading this reviews, it will give you new motivation.

Savvas is trapping children in a never ending loop of stress and homework. My child, Johnathan, has talked to me about how he no longer wants to live in this world because of his teachers' excess use of Savvas. If the platform were to be banned, children like my son would no longer have such thoughts. It is not fault of the children nor the teachers, but the corrupt school board behind all this. By signing this petition, you will be freeing children across America and various other countries.

Thank You,
