So I have to do this for like every subject and let me tell you it causes stress like bad stress the other day I almost cried and I have cried well doing this too it's just a bad app nobody wants to do it! If your a teacher I don't recommend use this website!
Honestly, this app is so bad it just test your patient and and the pont system is rig, This app is mostly a waste of time. Doesn't really even help you learn it just stresses you out, even sometimes you wanna punch the screen because of how the point system is like. The person who created app never fixed the point system, he/she is either lazy or just don't even care. Well in all, this app sucks and just an completely waste of time.
I am a parent and a teacher, and I have 6 years of experience to show that IXL is not worth the money. IXL has shoddy explanations and doesn't really help learn. On top of that, its point system is stressful and leads to frustration and raging. It has been bad for my kids' mental health and I strongly recommend others to stop using it.
Ixl makes me slave away 100 hours a day. I have not seen my family in 22 straight days since 1/2/24... I miss them so much. Please bring justice for this horrendous site that won't and will not EVER let me catch a break. For over 432 days, i have been slaving away. I thought it was a harmless site, but NO! I was happy to join the time, but like iready... I slave away, each day, crippling loneliness... depression. Justice to the slavess of 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 has never helped me, It always gets me in the worst mood. If you get a question wrong you go back heaps. Making it impossible. It has never done anything for me out of the frustration I have distracting me I can't learn.
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.
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.
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.
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\
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!
I think that IXL is really really REALLY dumb. I think this because I am in first grade, and I did the diagnostic. I got into 12 grade math, but they were still giving me volume as a recommendation. Also, when you get a problem wrong, the entire program just crashes, and when I sign back in, I lose 30 points. Lastly, I also think that ixl is dumb because I have severe depresion because of it, and im only in first grade.
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.
Answer: SCAM! IXL is the worst learning site I have ever seen!
Answer: Dunno. Just please, dont use it and if your forced to do it as an assinment beg your teacher to quit cause IXL is annoying s he11.
Answer: To be a scam to get 20 dollars a month for every person who falls in. Also to be the worlds best torture device for kids under 18
Answer: Sadly No... Unless you use Inspect element to fake scores everytime you open it.
Answer: Probably nobody. Unless a bigwig government official who REMEMBERS WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A KID actually looks at IXL for a literal freaking nanosecond goes, "This is actually horrible!" Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are so low that it probably won't happen in my lifetime.
Answer: * That's an asterisk. You have probably seen what it does.
Answer: It is really good it gives lessons and videos how to do it and if you buy yearly subscription it is 10% of and it improved my sons grades, but it has some errors.
Answer: Yes, but it would require everyone currently paying for it and funding it to pull out.
