IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

This is sincerely the worst experiecne I have ever had in my 13 years as a student in the public school system. I was a straight A student my entire childhood. Then, in highschool, they introfuced a platform called IXL... In EVERY SINGLE CLASS... Many of these teachers began to completely get rid of days where we learn anynthing and just have us sit on IXL for 45 minutes and then leave. This platform causes stress, anxiety, and often times even depression for the students that have the displaeasure of using it, and causes laziness and lack of care from the teachers that use it as well. I cannot possibly discourage you to use a platform any more than I can IXL.

Many teachers at my school have students learn with IXL, however IXL causes depression, mental damage and rage. Some students do IXL for HOURS just to receive an A on the assignment, causing lack of sleep and angry parents. Many students reported that if they get even ONE question wrong, they get bumped back eleven points or more! This is unexaptable and NEEDS to stop.

This app makes me rage so much, I guess for me it isnt so much as anxiety or depression but it makes me very angry. I get 2-6 points for one answer I get correct and 6-10 points docked for an answer I get wrong. Its actually bullshit how much time I have to spend climbing back up from like three wrong answers inna row, and by then I get even more frustrated. I never even learn anything by using IXL, it's just something I trudge through to get credit for an assignment, I don't feel smart or accomplished once I'm done. This app sucks so much get rid of it please.

IXL would be okay if the ratio of points given for every correct answer was the same as every point removed from an incorrect answer. Every correct answer can give a couple points each time not including the 20-10 points given for the first couple correct questions. But after that every incorrect answer removes 4-7 points, very wonky ratio. And Ixl dosent care what mistake you make, even the smallest mistake can impact the score. There's many times where I've misclicked the answer and it removing points from my score even when I got it right, just a misspelling or mistype. And it's SO repetitive, after 15 questions it just gets very boring.

Im a 10 year old child. IXL has this smart score that makes us feel dumb. I have went slightly depressed and ashamed of myself. I feel isolated in this way of mental torture as my way to describe it. I remember I broke down in tears frustrated from stress of the smartscore. It’s like a comparison. I wish they would remove and cancel IXL.

horrible things

if I could rate this stress inducing garbage app negatives i 100% would. Last year during science i actually almost broke my chromebook because i was stuck in an IXL loop trying to complete 4 assignments. it was one of those ones where you have to get like 5/6 correct or something. i was on stage 2 or 3 and i got 4/6 correct and had to RESTART the ENTIRE stage AGAIN and i had to keep doing that stage so many times i gave up and googled everything and even contemplated using AI. IXL is a failure of an educational app. I honestly think Khan Acedemy does a better job at teaching and i actually learnt things from Khan acedmy and prefer that over IXL. IXL really puts the L into learning. It got so bad to the point i took full on notes on which answers i got wrong and which was the correct one for every randomized set and then i used that to finish the assignment. i genuinely think children should not be put into this much stress. IXL's claims are very much inaccurate. They do not care about us. The smartscore also makes me feel dumb and like i'm terrible at what i do. AND if i get an answer wrong then it takes away 8 million points and then i get into debt. then my teacher also had to make us reach mastery because why not make your students hate school even more right? So overall. IXL IS GARBAGE.

Bro IXL is not a good learning website and it just wastes your time. All it does is give kids, anxiety and sometimes depression because they think they’re not good enough because whenever you fail a question it just takes away points that you need to finish the assignment and it’s honestly so stressful and it’s such a suckish website to learn on even delta math is better and I don’t even like delta math that much and I’m not just saying this because I don’t like math but I’m saying this because it genuinely stresses kids out and no one enjoys it. by the way, I have been using this program since 2020 or lower I hate it omg
