As an eighth grader who learns pretty fast, I-Ready should be banned. This website gives you a diagnostic to asses your skills, and the lessons are based off of what score you get on the diagnostic. This sounds good on paper but it is executed horribly. The diagnostic is long and boring, and the lessons is a whole other story. The lessons give you three wrong answers before you have to restart the lesson with no guidance whatsoever other than the simple instructions from the first time, and it does not focus on what you got wrong and why. Some students learn faster than others and some students learn slower, I am the group that learns faster and these are a genuine nightmare. Having to sit through long boring lessons that don't actually explain what you need to improve on does not actually teach you anything. The lessons are useless and don't actually teach you anything. I-Ready is just an excuse for teachers to occupy you, it does not benefit students in any way.

I-Ready was sent to me from Satan.
As someone who has used I-Ready since 3rd grade, I can say that I-Ready is even worse than searching up "furries" on X (formerly known as Twitter) at the ripe age of 7 years old. I have gone through the diagnostic TWICE, and I have experienced the same set of lessons three times. That is an entire school year. I have memorized the answers to the lessons I'm supposed to do without even learning anything. My current math teacher is literally better than this AI-using, so-called rennovation for education. It is hell characterized into 0101 codes, and I will die on that hill. Ever since I-Ready changed its entire look for us older students, it feels more like a job than a tool to help us understand mathematical terms. Also, the diagnostic has demolished my confidence. I sit in a classroom, answering digital questions for +1 hours just to feel like my score is not enough. Instead of feeling proud that I made it through the test and filled it to the best of my ability, I feel like an idiot that should've been held 3 years back. This diabolical site makes me want to rip my hair out. I don't care about getting XP for small little upgrades on my I-Ready's background and profile picture. I care about my education, and this? This isn't education. This is torture finalized into one platform meant to measure students turned into data and articles. I hate I-Ready. I'm an 8th grader, going into high school soon. To hope that I-Ready stops here is pathetic and useless, as the corrupt education system prioritizes paper dollar bills over students' mental health. Achieve 3000 has actually taught me something despite being boring as hell. At least it's only two assigned articles (max: 20 mins) and not an hour of repetitive numbers, equations, and slopes. The teaching is generic and barely adaptive. Also, I already learn math at school for an hour. I don't need 2 hours of math, I understand mathematics just fine. My name is Layla, and I'm in eigth grade as of right now. This wasn't made with AI by the way, just my unbridled rage and fury. I have never written an essay with this much passion. The creator of I-Ready needs to resign. (If he hasn't already).

I ready sucks more then spend 8 hours in prison 5 days a week aka school
i am in 6th grade and is academically gifted but this stupid website buts me at grade level or under which is insulting to me because I do physics and reads collage level text books and when I fail at a lesson I don't get told what I did wrong so and in the ELA section of the website it tells me to learn like 2nd grade words so instead kids don't do this website instead use brilliant and study SAT flash cards and read books and get quizzed by a good teacher

This app is a complete failure.
This is fundamentally failing, I've had multiple breakdowns because if this app. One time it asked me to write down an equation, I put down 4 x 9 and it marked it wrong, it said the answer was 9 x 4. I cried for the rest of the day and almost killed myself in the school because of a low test score.

Iready should be ILLEGAL
This is genuinely so bad it feels like I’m being hanged in medieval times and having my heart gauged out and getting the pear torture method if this god forbid site doesn’t get sued and outlawed I am genuinely going to tweak the diagnostic is so boring and long and makes NO sense and makes me wanna cry at some times and has made me MISS OUT on having fun in class because I got a low score on something I WAS THE BEST IN MY CLASS IN and the breathing breaks just tell you “hey we know you thinks this sucks well WE DONT CARE” this thing should be illegal in every country
