IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

IXL is probably the most repetitive and boring educational site i have ever used. I have 50 hours on it and it has been nothing but constant pain. Its repetitive nature makes me demotivated about even opening the site and starting to learn. Khan Academy is so much better AND free. USE KHAN ACADEMY INSTEAD. There is no reason for you to get ixl.

Mark the correct answer wrong, and I have some reasons supporting it IXL can feel stressful for students because the scoring system drops quickly with each mistake, making it seem like their effort isn’t paying off. The constant pressure to reach a very high “smart score” can turn learning into a frustrating grind instead of something enjoyable. Some students feel that IXL focuses more on endless practice questions than on clearly explaining concepts when they’re confused. The timer and score changes can make students rush through problems, which may hurt real understanding and accuracy. Repeatedly answering similar questions can become boring and discouraging, especially for students who already understand the skill. When students get a question wrong near the end of a skill, losing a lot of points at once can feel unfair and discouraging. IXL can create anxiety for students who struggle with a subject because every mistake is immediately highlighted and penalized. The system doesn’t always adapt well to different learning styles, so some students don’t get the kind of support they personally need. Because teachers sometimes assign IXL for grades or homework, students may focus on finishing it instead of actually learning the material. Some students feel that IXL makes them think of schoolwork as a chore, which can reduce their overall motivation to learn.

IXL is equivalent to student torture, and it should 100% be banned. IXL is a website where students have to answer questions to increase their smartscore, which is a score that shows how much you have mastered the skill. The teachers, treat it as a percentage. Plus, the biggest gripe I have with this godforsaken excuse of edtech is that everytime you get a question wrong, it drops your smartscore. At first you gain ten points per question and only lose one if you get it wrong, BUT later you get marked down by up to TEN POINTS and you only gain TWO. Everytime I go onto this website, I don't want to learn something new, I just want to get it over with. Plus, it is heartbreaking to almost be at the goal, get a question wrong, and lose all of my progress. As a middle schooler, this system is punishing students for their mistakes, and it actively punishes learning. Plus, their examples don't even help students learn, so they are stuck doing the same questions over and over again and wasting their time. IXL also actively lies to you by only showing positive reviews on their website. Teachers love it for the data, but students suffer in the proccess. If this sounds bad enough, teachers sometimes assgin multiple IXLs in a single day (my math teacher once assigned 5 of these!) If I could say more, I would, but this review is really long. I hope that our voices are heard so we can end this torture. I believe it should be banned, and I also hope that everyone who made this website goes bankrupt. Thank you, have a good day.

This site gives my entire class anxiety and depression, We barely learn anything from this site at all. Teachers only use it because they don't have to grade anything. And the SmartScore is ridiculous because you can be at 74 and get to 76 with one right answer and then drop to 65 because of one wrong one. This site sucks don't use it unless it's a torture device. In conclusion this site lies to us and watch this vid for porf watch a YouTube vid called IXL are lying to students.

何!?!? これ くそ です... I LITERALLY SCREAMED AND DIED CAUSE OF THIS I HATE IT...

only thing to learn from IXL is that people just hate kids and students destroy their spirit just for some bucks, their should be no one that feels like a human being with a heart and countenance that would recommend.

horrible site, first of all, it is repetitive and bland and it always gets things wrong even if you put an answer, and there should totally be a delay before you answer for people to double check cuz the amount of times i do a whoopsie and add an extra zero is beyond me.

Yout get 1-2 points per question right. You gust subtracted 15-25 points for getting something wrong. Especially in the "Challenge Zone" This promotes depression and anxiety in my child!
