IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

IXL is utter torture. My parents made me do IXL since I was in 3rd grade, and my devices were taken away when I didn't do it or if I didn't finish the ones I started. They made me do it because my grades were starting to slip. But when I got really good grades in 8th grade, my parents were like "See? IXL is good for you!" Little did they know I wasn't even doing it because they didn't check the analytics. I just sat in the living room doing random stuff on the laptop instead of doing IXL. I've tried telling them that IXL has been wrong on numerous occasions and they've seen me crying in front of the laptop before. When I'm about to finish one at 98 smartscore, my heart starts racing, I become jittery, and when I get it wrong, there goes all my motivation. Seriously, don't waste your money on this garbage. There are so many better options.

Ixl makes you stress do not download! Im a middle schooler and I have this app called ixl that our math teacher forces us to do. It makes us stress. He expects us to do 3 ixls in 55 minutes! and with the smart score being rigged WE CANT DO ANYTHING I CAN ONLY GET 1/2 done and he grades it! so our grade goes down. This is too bad.. People in my class cry over this and literally slam the computer. This makes us stress and makes us irratated and mad. THIS IS NOT FUN!

I am a Texas student in sixth grade. I have been using IXL for 4 years. It has caused me HORRIBLE ANXIETY. It gives statistics to teachers, so they love it. But for the students, it makes us feel frustrated. It doesn’t teach, it says you’re wrong, then gives a confusing explanation that has nothing to do with what your mistake was. IXL is a laughable excuse for torture. I learn more from ChatGPT than this. The smartscore just smacks you and says “you’re stupid do better!” Don’t use it, if you are stuck using it, tell your instructor that it is horrible, and provide evidence.

It makes students afraid to fail. at smart score 0-80 it is pretty easy, but once you get to smart score 80 your DREAMS are SHATTERED, most students I see just quit if they are at 80+ and they get one wrong because it takes off like 10,000,000,000 off and you only get like 5 for correct answers.

"IXL" is a disgrace to learning. While claiming to build confidence and inspire learning, this learning tool that millions turned to is merely destroying children and their self esteem. As a freshman, I can agree that the platform is nothing more than a rote procedure where you pray not to get knocked down what's worth 7 correct answers over just 1 incorrect answer. This is not learning, this is forced cooperation. How can students and parents alike consider the educational benefits when mental health is the price? The only mastery IXL is working towards is depression, a complete fear of failure, low self-esteem, and many other concerns. Teachers are comfortable with handing out IXL and calling it a day, but there is so much to this platform that the company doesn't want you to know. Thousands of negative reviews have amassed, and it's not a coincidence. IXL should be abolished and heavily discouraged!!

IXL sucks. Whatever subject you have to do, It sucks. It blows self-esteem. I seen some of my fellow classmates break their computers over it. I seen people cry over IXL. It does not make you "excel" (IXL means I Excel). IXL does not make your efficiency go higher, it breaks you, molds you and focused on compliance, not progress. It breaks my soul that teachers and others alike, want this. My mother who is a Paraprofessional. told me "Yes, IXL sucks." Even If you are "smart" IXL sucks. I wish that IXL was not the main website you had to learn on. It sucks, It breaks and It fails to do WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES. I am in 8th Grade. A ton of these IXL we must do REEK. They do not teach me anything at all! I have done IXLs PERFECTLY, and yet I get them WRONG? IXLs might be the bane of existence.

Eighth grader here. I’m a straight A student on the verge of throwing desks at the near mention of IXL. You can answer 20 questions to get an 89 SmartScore just to go back down to 70 in one question. My A student friend is constantly answering 150-200 questions per lesson just to get bare minimum assigned by our teacher (90).

IXl is harmful and dangerous for kids learning. One time my friend put in the right awnser to it's question, but it freaked out and it reset his entire score. Multiple times i have used it it makes me panic and stress out. Sometimes it even makes me cry. teachers should stop using IXL because it. Hurts and damages kids mentally. That platform is a terrible and harmful.
