I'm a student. Our math teacher forces us to use ALEKS for 2 HOURS each week. That's not the worst part- when you get a question wrong, it removes a question you already got right and marks it wrong. This is EXTREMELY irritating and is very upsetting when you have 1 question left to do until you complete a topic. What's worse is that it makes you do these f*cking knowledge checks when you do a certain amount of topics. It doesn't sound bad, but it forces you to do 25 QUESTIONS until you complete it, emphasis on forces. You can't do reviews or do topics thanks to this goddamn knowledge check. And guess what? After you do all 25 questions, which takes about an hour and a half, it gives you a bad grade. All of that work, just for NOTHING.

Please, if you're an educator, like a professor, teacher, homeschooler, or whatever, PLEASE, DO NOT ALLOW YOUR KID(S) TO USE ALEKS. It has brought me to the point of crying and slitting my limbs. Please, never use this website and torture your children to use this website. They may seem okay with it, but on the inside, they hate ALEKS, they want to never use it again.

In conclusion, ALEKS tries to teach, however, they don't teach things in the correct way. Please, do not get your students or kids to use the ALEKS program.
