IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

I have experienced IXL for 5+ years, and I can say that it sucks. To give them some credit they do seem to have correct answers, at least from my experience. From other’s comments it seems to be inaccurate sometimes, so they might not even get credit there. Anyway, they are long, boring, and frustrating. They range from a minute for every other subject and twenty minutes for math assuming you get them all correct, which, most of the time, you won’t get them all correct. If you get even some wrong it can take upwards of 30 minutes. 30 minutes is also just the bear minimum, typically they are way longer. Kids do not have the patience to sit through this. Nor do they have the patience to get things wrong and get sent back. From experience, I can say they may take so long because children who don’t want to do IXLs get frustrated, then start going faster, get questions wrong because they stopped thinking clearly, and the cycle repeats until they give up, start cheating, or, by some stroke of luck, finish the IXL. I don’t blame kids for using AI, Calculators, and the internet for answers just to ease their lives and anxiety. On a side note, The time these things take can take until midnight to finish which doesn’t help. Being tired can cause some problems which don’t make the kid any better at answering questions. Also, there is the whole other can of worms that is tried to function off of less than 6 hours of sleep. On a related note, IXL does provide reasons on why you got the answer wrong, but those are typically long winded and terrible at explaining and kids are so enraged that they got one wrong that they don’t pay attention to it. Now, this is not just one thing once in a while, this is something I get several of that are due by the end of the week. This is also for six weeks in a row after first starting a quarter. Also, all of this is math, which take the longest. This is also due along with projects and homework assignments. Also, those homework assignments can be math, which then brings up the question: what is the point of IXLs when math homework can accomplish the same thing? Anyways, I don’t think that IXLs are going away anytime soon, so here are ways to make your life easier: Calculators (good for math. Especially Desmos which can do most math) Internet (especially useful for Social Studies and Science) Use AI (you can type in or upload images of questions and get correct answers. It gets all subjects) Don’t do them (if they’re a low enough part of degree. I did this in the fifth grade and I still got As)

O IXL, titan of tabs and torment untold, Spreadsheet monarch with a heart of cold, You promise “practice” in gentle disguise, Then drop twenty questions like meteor skies. Your SmartScore climbs like a mountain of ice, One slip—and you tumble down… not once, but twice. Ninety-nine glory within student sight, One decimal wrong—goodbye to the height. You whisper “adaptive,” but students all know That means “harder questions the moment you grow.” You lure us in with a cheerful green check, Then shove us backwards for one tiny speck. Oh ruler of retries, emperor of grind, You test not math but strength of mind. Fractions repeat like an echoing cave, Each one more confusing, each one less brave. “Find the slope,” you chant again and again, Numbers reshuffled, same headache, same pain. X disappears, Y runs wild, Algebra turns savage, logic turns mild. Your hints cost points like a toll on a road, Three points vanish for knowledge bestowed. “Consider the pattern,” you vaguely declare, While confidence evaporates into air. IXL, scoreboard tyrant, calculator king, You make wrong answers a dramatic thing. One misclick, one rounding mistake, And suddenly everything’s at stake. Your progress bar crawls with theatrical flair, Two percent gained after ten minutes of stare. Victory tastes like cardboard dust, Perfection demanded, or back you must. You are the pop quiz that never ends, The loading wheel that never bends. Students stare in silent dread, Watching SmartScores drop instead. Ninety-eight… ninety-five… ninety-two… fall, Each mistake echoing through the hall. “Almost there!” your cheerful cry, Then subtract five points… why, oh why? Two trains leave stations, here we go again, One goes north, one through my brain. Word problems march like an endless parade, Logic dissolves, confidence fades. Oh IXL, endless treadmill of doom, Digital dungeon of fluorescent gloom, Yet still we return, assignment in hand, Bound by homework across the land.

Alright, so. I'm excellent at both English and Math with straight A's for the subject. IXL is so frustrating. My teachers assign one almost every day, expecting it to get done by midnight... Here's the thing. IXL? It's 'lying'. It's goal is to make children's education be improved. However, it does NOTHING. Students, like me, can not focus on IXL. It drains us. Now, I know this might sound cringe, but it is from my IXL and classmates experience. Teachers, please do not assign IXL homework to everyone. At most, do a Group Jam. You and your students can work together to do it. And if you didn't get any of this... ixl lowk sucks xd the system lowk bunz

Absolute baloney, worst learning app I’ve ever used

IXL is the worst platform I have ever used, and schools are using it to prepare for STAAR. I feel like if I use IXL to study, I will end up failing my STAAR. You can be on an absolute roll and then miss one question, and you're back to square zero.

IXL is the worst learning platform ever. It gave my child a wrong answer and made my child fail his exams, and with their smart score '' made my child feel dumb when he did not get good marks. My child was not that good at learning, but IXL made him stupider at first. His test scores were low, and we thought that oh it's ok, he is probably getting used to IXL, but now this is unexpected, this is an American company, that's the problem

IXL is the most ragebaiting site ever created. It makes kids hate math. It is a horrible site to practice in

IXL is so bad, as a student I hate IXL as it is such a struggle to keep your smart score up. And it makes me feel dumb as I go to a lower smart score if I am stuck in a low smart score because that shows I am dumb and my "SMART" score isn't high. I hate IXL and I wish it could just be removed from all schools.
