This website is not helping students

This website is not helping students. It's hurting them. The diagnostic is not accurate at all. The lessons are pure busy work. This is coming from a student. I have never finished an i-ready lesson and thought "Wow! I learned something from that." That's why I say the diagnostic is inaccurate. I am currently on an 9th grade reading level; however, it's giving me 6th and 7th-grade lessons. I-ready pro is not any better; if anything, it's worse. The lessons are not designed to help the student. In my expirence I-ready is pure busy work

I-ready is an abomination of human…

I-ready is an abomination of human suffering and child labor. As an 8th grader I am forced to do I-ready and I have only accomplished something remotely close to learning in math. The software makes you take hour long lessons and as little as three wrong answers can devoid all your work having to redo it all over again with no guidance it what went wrong. The English version is particularly horrible with literally no education involved making you set through literal yapping while it asks you what did Jeff do. And I am an intellectual person being in 8th grade (has nothing to do with I-ready) and it is flat out degrading. The whole concept of it makes no sense either, even me an 8th grader knows some people have different skill sets and aren’t good at problem solving and doing things like tests wich is basically all I-ready is. You might say well that with clash with the whole American school system wouldn’t it, well we all now the American school system is crap and def isn’t some I have pride in my about. Of course tests are mainly used as assessments for the knowledge of students even if it doesn’t exactly work. At least schools actually have a person teaching instead of treating students like robots that I-ready is making sure software is up to date. Not only does it make no sense and it work at all it doesn’t send anything to teachers like it says it does and the punishment that schools carrie out for the completion of it is absurd making kids hate learning flat out like American school systems didn’t do that already. I-ready genuinely harms my mental health and maybe I’m not a good example sense my mental health isn’t quite there wich is the main reason I would be said to be an old soul compared to other kids wich basically means my trauma ended my childhood and I’m a wiser person from the experiences in my life wich doesn’t out weigh the mental damage, and I ready def hasn’t helped this if it hasn’t made it worse. I’ve already stated it doesn’t work and it’s the equivalent to medieval torture that teachers force upon student on a timed schedule but it also collects data on children and sells it. I ready is genuinely evil and has the worst affect on American students sense Macdonald started fattening them up. And not only does the testing or robot like assessing of human capabilities not work but it degrades students making them feel dumb and forces them to sit through something their learning capabilities might not be able to handle based on there skill sets. I genuinely believe iready should be banned and used as a torture method in Iraq. Though I have made this both and iready and American education system review pls America as a first step to fixing the corrupt and greedy unhelpful education of American students ban I ready. And if you didn’t get this now iready is not a good platform and I would rate it a -110/10.

This website made my mental health so much worse

This website has traumatized me personally, when I was suicidal and could barely even get up and do anything at all except for sleeping and crying I still got a detention for not having the expected amount of iready lessons completed. First, there’s no studies that show I-Ready actually works. Second of all, if a student is suicidal your biggest priority should be their mental health and not whether or not they have their I-Ready lesson count up to standards.

I-ready and my school sucks, here's why…

My school makes me use I-ready all week. 4 lessons per 5 days and its really stressful. we have this thing called class economy where we get fake money for shop monthly but for every lesson we miss our teacher fines us 10 dollars. I have ADHD and I prefer actual work than this so I can work at my own pace instead of half a mile per hour.

I would rather be an employee of hell than do Iready

"Do your Iready!" my teachers always say, BUT WHY SHOULD I DO IT IF I GET NOTHING OUT OF IT AND IT DOES NOTHING TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND TOPICS THAT IT THINKS I NEED WORK ON????? Like excuse me for not wanting to do lessons on a platform that makes me feel like 9 to 5 jobs (That most ppl describe as hell) would be better than doing Iready EACH WEEK

Traumatizing

As a 7th Grader, I actually hate iready more than anything else. We don’t get assigned the lessons, but we still have to do diagnostic. It is long, around 3 hours, and they removed the only thing to look forward to, the mini games, and replaced it with some stupid breathing exercises that just makes me more nervous. All to determine how smart you are like nothing else matters. Iready is a mistake, iready pro is even worse. I look forward more to final testing than a diagnostic.

Iready might be one of the worst learning tools out there.

Iready might be one of the worst learning tools. It advertises itself as a fun learning tool that kids enjoy, when really it is a slop-filled website that some big company made with the effort of a payroll worker on 2 hours of sleep that has projections to do and a meeting in 5 minutes. Originally, it gave you childish characters that were embarrasing to learn with and made me and my friends feel like we dumb blobs of goop that could not think for themselves. The lessons were so bad and unentertaining I couldn't focus on a problem for more than 2 minutes. The diagnostic was by far the worst part of this, it was made so that you get half the questions wrong. You could go from a problem of your grade level to a collage level problem, and if you got that wrong it would ask you problems like "If Elizebeth has 2 apple and gives 1 to Olivia, how many does she have now?" The addition of Iready "Pro" isn't any better. Honestly, I would rather feel like a pile of good that can't think for itself than have to use Iready "Pro." They add useless "Exp teirs" that no one asked for or understands and somehow made the site more boring than it was before. It doesn't explain to you what you do wrong and when you get a question right it will just repeat what you did and how they want you to do it for 5 minutes, wasting your time. They also don't have an option to disable or mute read-alloud or sound effects. If i'm trying to listen to music while doing Iready because it help me focus I have no choice but to turn my music up to the point where it hurts my ears and even then I can still hear "great job!" and "If .... has ...." To add, they somehow made the diagnostic, a test that would send a victorian child into psychosis worse. They got rid of the only thing that made me able to finish the test, the fun randomized minigames that you got every break and replaced it with a sorry excuse of something some one on their lunch break made by typing asking chatgpt "How can I take out all of the fun out of my soul-sucking website and make it "appealing to older kids?" There was no reason to take out the games and replace it with a "breathing excercise" that honestly makes me feel more stressed than the whole test combined. I have to listen to this random guy tell me to imagine a balloon under my bellybutton? in fact, I moved up a grade and they just got rid of the dude and basically copy+pasted a gif of the head emoji breathing, made it purple and added random text telling you to breath in and out. The video isn't even a flat 45, 50, or 40 seconds, it's 43 which annoys me even more, at least make it an even number or a multiple of 5. This website is one of the worst and most useless "tools" out there. It's so easy to cheat using AI and is up there with IXL, Xtramath and Deltamath. I say this as someone who's school actively uses Iready and does not care about the current lawsuit.

The ai voices get on my nerves


Hi I am a student that is not the best at math and this may be the reason why I do fractions in class. But on iready I do 1st grade/kidergarten addition. They also call this “advanced education” when for me I get questions that I can knockout in 20 seconds. They also expand the equation even though they should know I am too good for this math. They also steal kid’s info and sell it to other companies. And school’s use this website to waste time for kids. Iready sux!

I ready is not good for students

I am an 8th grade student who is required to have 50 minutes a week for both Math and English. I know it is minimal considering many students from other schools have it worse. However, every question I'm asked on this platform genuinely drains my motivation every time. Its very repetitive and boring making it hard to actually work and focus. Failing a lesson after working on it for a long amount of time can be so frustrating and increase anxiety and frustration, decreasing the likeliness of a student being ready to learn and results in them giving up. Also, we are required to do I-ready in our resource hour, which should be being used to catch up on assignments ask questions, and study. Instead, this hour is being used to complete I-Ready lessons and it impacts my grade HEAVILY. It is so draining to do many things at once. It is also not 'scientifically proven" to help, there is no actual research to prove this, it's just the school district/the teachers wanting to do anything but teach. Could we go back to the old curriculum where I actually learned stuff?
