First of all, I'm using the remainder of my brain cells to write this. I-Ready killed my brain. It was supposed to protect my brain but instead, it grabbed a sword, stabbed my brain, scrunched it up and let it shrivel up and die. I really hope you can fix this issue because I need my brain to do more important stuff. It's not that I don't want to do I-Ready, it's that I would literally do anything else. So if you fix my brain, I'll tell the police to stop using it to get people to talk.

Second, It lowers sense of humor and self-esteem. The jokes in I-Ready can make your poor heart stop. The jokes are so brief that you really don't even see them happening. It lowers your self-esteem by saying nothing but, NOPE, NOT QUITE and random dumb catchphrases. It doesn't help you feel better after that either.

The people in these lessons must have used I-Ready before because they ask you to do these questionable things that they do every day and they can do it themselves. For example, these idiots say "How much rope light does he need to finish the car's ceiling?'' even though the idiots say "I use fractions when remodeling cars." Even though he can't figure out how to calculate the most simple question in the world.

The diagnostic is deadly. You have to view this video at the start of every diagnostic which is three times every year. And after a while of watching that video you can predict what they will say. When you are on zoom and you pull up the zoom window while watching that video it freezes the entire screen and there is no way you can unfreeze it without exiting out of I-Ready. Oh and I know that is acting, by the way.

The lessons on I-Ready really drag on if they are these special video lessons. Just stop putting effort into making these because the people are very creepy and I can tell that their mouths are just moving randomly instead of actually saying what they should be. Also, they are very low quality videos made like old cartoons, using the same background to save money. I bet you finally used a budget over 5$ this time.

Some lessons on I-Ready are kind of the opposite of each other. In this case, my math lesson had some adding decimals and the next lesson was subtracting fractions so it really confused me. Can you just get rid of all of those annoying cutscenes. Kids aren't stupid y'know. Your logic is, If it moves and has colors kids will like it. My logic (And literally everyone else in the smart group's logic) is that the cutscenes just make my brain turn upside down and snap my brainstem.

One example of how people get less smart from I-Ready is that in Kindergarten and 2nd grade my score actually went down for all things I-Ready. Oh and those "Fun games" are child's play. I know they are supposed to be child's play but they are mind-numbingly easy and boring and have no actual way of showing that people worked on it.
