EdmentumReviews of edmentum.com

The only reason I'm not putting this on the one star is because no one would see this. The reviews are all one stars and the 5 star reviews are jokes. My entire school hates Edmentum, you couldn't find one person who actually likes it. The school newspaper is even writing an article on why Edmentum is bad. Don't force high schoolers to do Edmentum!

The lessons are boring. We use edmentum in our class and we all agree. There are 2 main reasons for this. 1 is there is a lot of unnecessary information. I’m not fond of it teaching you 1-4 different methods of the topic. I would leave each method in a different lesson, that way the practice doesn’t need to be super long and take half math/reading edmentum class time. Another way 1 applies has to do more with the lesson. You want to make sure the students get it, as the lessons aren’t there for nothing. On rare occasions it will have a lot of extra information, but usually too little if there’s any problem with it. Don’t get me wrong, at least 60% of lessons don’t have the problem I’m about to share. This isn’t the most important reason why this website only gets a 2/5. It’s because of the tmi in the lesson slides. Edmentum usually shares a “story” where one of around 5 characters need help with math or reading using kinda lame excuses. If your gonna use a story, either use it a little more or not at all. For example: Klara: “Sten, I need help with my studying again qwq” Sten: “I’ll help, Klara! What are you studying ;3” Klara: “I don’t get figurative language help meee 7w7” Sten: “Hmmm yeah that idiom an idiom is dis uwu” Klara: “Tysm Sten now I know idioms TvT” Yeah. They don’t explain it much, as you can see. The only reason it isn’t 1/5 is because the learning system is ok. Problem number 2 is a small reason I’m not going to discuss much: 15% of progress checks are unrelated to the topic. Idk why, but I learn about long division and it gives me decimals. At the time I was in 4th grade so I didn’t know how to do the decimals even though I was fine with king division and failed the progress check, so I had to do it again only to fail the check again and move on to something else. The lesson and practice didn’t talk about how to divide with the decimals and fractions, so I had no idea what I was doing… :( Overall 2.4/10
