IreadyReviews of iready.com

This site is absolute trash. Not only does every student hate it, but it is flawed from the core. The day I finished having to use it was one to celebrate.

HELL, this app ruined schools.

I ready is a totally garbage! And everyone hates it. It's getting sued! I hate I ready!

Iready might be one of the worst learning tools. It advertises itself as a fun learning tool that kids enjoy, when really it is a slop-filled website that some big company made with the effort of a payroll worker on 2 hours of sleep that has projections to do and a meeting in 5 minutes. Originally, it gave you childish characters that were embarrasing to learn with and made me and my friends feel like we dumb blobs of goop that could not think for themselves. The lessons were so bad and unentertaining I couldn't focus on a problem for more than 2 minutes. The diagnostic was by far the worst part of this, it was made so that you get half the questions wrong. You could go from a problem of your grade level to a collage level problem, and if you got that wrong it would ask you problems like "If Elizebeth has 2 apple and gives 1 to Olivia, how many does she have now?" The addition of Iready "Pro" isn't any better. Honestly, I would rather feel like a pile of good that can't think for itself than have to use Iready "Pro." They add useless "Exp teirs" that no one asked for or understands and somehow made the site more boring than it was before. It doesn't explain to you what you do wrong and when you get a question right it will just repeat what you did and how they want you to do it for 5 minutes, wasting your time. They also don't have an option to disable or mute read-alloud or sound effects. If i'm trying to listen to music while doing Iready because it help me focus I have no choice but to turn my music up to the point where it hurts my ears and even then I can still hear "great job!" and "If .... has ...." To add, they somehow made the diagnostic, a test that would send a victorian child into psychosis worse. They got rid of the only thing that made me able to finish the test, the fun randomized minigames that you got every break and replaced it with a sorry excuse of something some one on their lunch break made by typing asking chatgpt "How can I take out all of the fun out of my soul-sucking website and make it "appealing to older kids?" There was no reason to take out the games and replace it with a "breathing excercise" that honestly makes me feel more stressed than the whole test combined. I have to listen to this random guy tell me to imagine a balloon under my bellybutton? in fact, I moved up a grade and they just got rid of the dude and basically copy+pasted a gif of the head emoji breathing, made it purple and added random text telling you to breath in and out. The video isn't even a flat 45, 50, or 40 seconds, it's 43 which annoys me even more, at least make it an even number or a multiple of 5. This website is one of the worst and most useless "tools" out there. It's so easy to cheat using AI and is up there with IXL, Xtramath and Deltamath. I say this as someone who's school actively uses Iready and does not care about the current lawsuit.

I am an 8th grade student who is required to have 50 minutes a week for both Math and English. I know it is minimal considering many students from other schools have it worse. However, every question I'm asked on this platform genuinely drains my motivation every time. Its very repetitive and boring making it hard to actually work and focus. Failing a lesson after working on it for a long amount of time can be so frustrating and increase anxiety and frustration, decreasing the likeliness of a student being ready to learn and results in them giving up. Also, we are required to do I-ready in our resource hour, which should be being used to catch up on assignments ask questions, and study. Instead, this hour is being used to complete I-Ready lessons and it impacts my grade HEAVILY. It is so draining to do many things at once. It is also not 'scientifically proven" to help, there is no actual research to prove this, it's just the school district/the teachers wanting to do anything but teach. Could we go back to the old curriculum where I actually learned stuff?

I have ADHD and Autism and one time I had to go to the MAIN and I say MAIN, PRICIPALS OFFICE JUST BEACAUSE I COULDNT DEAL WITH HOW HARD IT WAS Note: hey the date is just estimate from memories
