IXL

This is an absolute horrible program design for lazy teachers that want to coast through life. This does not teach children anything other than frustration and demoralization, any teacher or school that uses this program has a lot of soul-searching to do they're doing more harm than they know

IXL just wastes your time and gives unnecessary stress. The "SmArt sCorE" is rigged. You earn only 3 points for answering a question correctly and it deducts 10 entire points if you answer wrong. I spent hours on one annoying IXL. Overall, it's just annoying to do IXL. We kids get stressed. We are sometimes so annoyed that the bang or smash or desks or laptops.

This whole thing is rigged. Even the point system.It is terrible, it causes stress for my kids, me, and the points go down because of that? It's "smart score" is terrible.The point system is terrible.My kids come crying or stressed out.The whole website should be taken down.

IXL could be a great site but it needs major improvements in the systems. The scoring, when you get to a high score, is completely devastating and time wasting. One question wrong? BOOM now you are 8-10 points lower. As a teen who has to get 300 points per section I can say sometimes this is extremely frustrating and it has brought me to tears more then once. Next the "rewards"... I simply hate that they are called this. Nothing is more rewarding then a digital picture right? This along with the horrid scoring system makes this site pointless. But wait theirs more! Their are tons of glitches that kill your score and frustrate everyone. Also the "explanations" are often wrong or offer no learning at all. Several that i have seen just had the problem and a quick and pointless explanation of the processes and when I followed the steps on the next question it was wrong. Overall i be-leave this site has some potential but it needs lots of fixes and revisions to it.

When I use ixl, sometimes it can be an easy and quick assignment but, more times than others, its is so stressful and causes students to feel dumb or they would get behind on work as well. Especially when you reach the challenge zone, if you get one right, your score goes up by 3 and when you get it wrong,it takes your score by almost 10.

I am personally 10, in 4th grade. I have had to use IXL multiple times. I absolutely hate it. I would delete the website with no extra thought. IXL can be extremely hard and unforgiving. Let's say you're at 99.3 questions later, 80. Then this process can repeat a few times. You can probably see my point. If you are a teacher, I would not recommend IXL.

IXL's point system is painful. In the later stages of tasks, when you get a question right your 'smartscore' (which I think is a pretty stupid name. It suggests that your intelligence revolves around this one revolutionary task that you'll forget about in 5 minutes) Increases by 1 or 2, but if you get a question wrong it decreases by 7 or 8, putting you back as much as 8 questions. I hate it. Do not recommend. If your teacher is putting you through this, file a court case for child abuse. I send my prayers.

Ixl is a horrible frustration trigger for me and many other students. Doing an IXL assignment can lead to tears breakdowns and uncontrollable anger. Kids with anger management problems in my school have hurt themselves because they get too angry. Now this is just my experience as a student. If you're a school district reading this, I do not recommend it. When me and my peers get assigned an IXL it's a load of stress that we do not need in our lives.

This site wastes a lot of your time and takes up your patience. Also, at the same time, ixl is not the most efficient for learning. Teachers just use it because they don't want to manually grade an assignment or make one. Ixl is really just doesn't benefit anyone whatsoever. Students might also feel anxiety and anger (which creates hate to the teachers that assigned it). I personally think that this site is complete torture (mental breakdown). IXL should disband for the good of everyone.

I have seen so many children hate this. They say it does not help, it just cements it into their brain and doesn't make a difference. For the districts, you are paying for something kids aren't doing, so why bother? Little origami swans won't motivate children, so why are you giving these awards? They are only good for flexing them, and NO child will do that. This is beyond horrible, to make it fun, you must redo it!
Goodbye, Gummy

Not sure why the teachers love this so much because all it does for students is stress them out. Considering if they are required to complete and master an IXL that they are struggling on, the students can become stressed and fearful if they don't complete it and get a bad grade on it. Next, Why would you think making the grading system score on here the way it is.? It's really ridiculous it does not push or motivate a student to keep trying if they go from 75 points to 64 points. By far Math seems like the hardest category to get past on here. I don't recommend ANY math teachers to use this because it does not help students gain more understanding of the subjects. This is because if you tell them they must "master it" that's all they're gonna think about such as "If I get an 100 on this I'll pass". I honestly think that IXL just needs to be completely redone because this app is not like how it used to be, and it's an eyesore.

OK, I'm gonna be honest, this site would not be so GODAWFUL if they changed the question format and gave us a 'Dark mode' setting. I mean, you're gonna see the same damn question like 400 times if you get it wrong ONCE. And there is no setting for disabled people like a line reader or anything. Only a stupid little piece of sh*t they call the 'Drawing tool.' I mean, come on. No one actually uses that except when they're bored of being on IXL, which is a little ironic. So, some tips: don't use. Boring as watching paint f*cking dry.

The program sucks. When you get an answer wrong, the explanation doesn't help what so ever. Answering questions are extremely stressful because you know that if you get a single question wrong you lose 20 points and getting an answer right only gives you 2. The timer on the side makes kids feel timed. Please do not use this program anything else is better.

My teacher assigned us like 100 of these a week and it's stressful. It takes too long and by the way, if you have a question correct it gives you like 4 but its like 2 on the challenge zone. If you get it wrong it decreases your score and takes it away by 10 8 or 9. As you can see by the picture my grades are either F or B. Also thank you ixl for making my parents force me to stop sleeping to do the work

IXL is too much homework, stress, and many other things. Overall everything about it sucks. The fact that teachers give students work like this is disgusting. It also has a lot of stereotypes about teens and what they do. I hate IXL my parents do and overall it's just bad. As a middle school stude, I think IXL should be banned because it's a bad app, causes stress, bad education, too much homework, horrible learning, wasted time, annoying, bad point system, and so much more.

IXL is horrible because one wrong answer during the "challenge zone" will take you back so far that you have to redo the entire thing. Schools should not be using this because it is useless! Go use Get More Math for god sake. It is too much of a challenge and it is not fun and kids rage over it.
