This review isn't very detailed because I haven't had to deal with DreamBox for a while so I don't remembered all the horrible little details, but I'd still like to share my thoughts.
I had to do dreambox lessons during elementary and middle school, elementary school was fine but middle school was absolutely torturous. Whoever made the decision of forcing students to do dreambox must be a filthy sadist. Dreambox does not provide lessons, and the feedback for incorrect answers is incredibly unhelpful. The instructions for the activities are so bad, they are seriously SO INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE. Progress on an activity can't be saved and when you pause the website it logs you out after around 10 minutes. God forbid I want to take a break to eat dinner in the middle of completing the most unnecessarily complicated math activity. Each time you get an answer wrong the website says, "oops try again!" and a goofy sound plays, it'd be comical if it wasn't so insulting. Most students already find math boring or stressful, adding hideous animation, confusing games with unclear instructions, and not providing proper help, makes everything so much worse. This website was the death of me in middle school.
I am being so serious, I have never hated anything with such an aggressive passion the way I absolutely LOATHE DreamBox.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY JUST GIVE YOUR STUDENTS NORMAL MATH WORK
I'm not saying all this because I just hate doing math, I really enjoy math and it's become one of my favorite subjects. DreamBox is a website that might work for elementary students using it at school but besides that, DreamBox is not helpful for most students.
In conclusion I think we should bring back the prohibition from the 1920s but with DreamBox instead of alcohol. Xoxo
