Im a 11 year old student in New Jersey

Im a 11 year old student in New Jersey, this has to be the biggest waste of time ive ever done in school. All this does is limit the teachers actual job, to teach. Schools have somehow let this digital app "teach" children, while i have only learned one topic from it in the 3 years I have been using it. Teachers should be helping us and showing us where we went wrong. Instead, these diagnostics put us in different levels, basically calling different students stupid and smart, when in reality they have the same grade. The diagnostic is literarily meant to be failed, I-Ready EXPECTS you to get half the questions right. Second graders can get 7th grade questions after only getting 20% of the questions right. This is torture, and it doesnt even work. Im tired of being a statistic, please save us.

The main problems with this program.

The Iready curriculum used in my middle school had me put in a special math class in 8th grade. I’m not that bad at math, I just couldn’t follow the material. Iready’s books are very confusing, every problem is convoluted and makes absolutely zero sense. The forced testing with the dumb little characters aren’t a challenge even at the highest level, and the aforementioned characters, are dumb and boring and have weird names. It actively insults you too, when first taking the tests it plays the video, where it says thag it expects you to fail.

The lessons trash.

When you get 2 questions wrong it fails you have to do it again and they don't tell you how to do it and you don't learn anything.

The idea of I ready is meh and doesn’t work well

The idea of I ready is kinda ok, but the way it’s done is horrible.
It’s really slow and forces it to read it to me which takes up way to much time, also the math lessons are WAY to long
I’m not even learning anything too, it’s giving me stuff I have learned months ago and doesn’t even re-teach it too me correctly.
The use of computers is horrible for education and I ready makes it even worse, students should be studying, not doing even more work on the computer, it’s a complete waste of time and even since I have started it I have found myself to be more stressed.
Overall I ready is not the best for kids education. I think that studying on paper instead of doing extra useless work on computers is more effective. Students should study during the time we waste doing I ready instead.

The wrong path

OH NO! yeah....... this site sucks and literally I did not think this site could get this bad until this came, so let me explain it. THE LESSONS! They take nearly half an hour to complete which is insane and you just watch goofy mascot characters yappin and then if you get 60% or less on the questions you actually restart the lesson and they don't tell you anything, and because the lessons are long it's like being grounded and not knowing what to do!

I-ready is horrible

I-ready. In my school, you have to do at least 4 lessons and have like 45 lessons at the end of the 9 weeks I think. You have to finish your I-ready before you do your homework and some students don't get to do their homework (no time after school, I know many people with tight schedules) resulting in bad grades. (including me) My school is spending so much money on I-ready that they cut off half of our buses for next year, and it doesn't even help!!! When I started doing I ready after a while again, I was still doing fractions!!! I was WAY beyond that level. And if you get even 1 question wrong, it drops your score down to like a 92 or even lower! Don't get I-ready! IXL is better. oh and this is like everyday

Iready makes me "I ready to graduate".

Iready makes me "I ready to graduate".
The lessons teach more about how to bore people than actual learning. Once, I finished Iready and it got updated, so THE ENTIRE THING JUST RESET! Also, the animations are at 1 fps, which hurts my brain as much as it hurts my eyes.
More than 90% of the math lessons are just listening to the Iready AI speak, wasting a lot of time. Basically every aspect of Iready could be improved, including the name. I READY FOR WHAT??? READY FOR A QUICK DEATH? Apparently that's what the developers thought.
The reading thing is full of boring and repetitive articles about "yap yap yap", and the only thing that's actually learning anything is a kindergartener.
If you even consider trying Iready, know this. Once you start, the trauma will never leave.

Hell. Just Hell. It is just --->HELL<---. I am doing i-ready right now but first, it is super laggy, one time my brother put 3 for an answer and iready thought it was 3,333,333
and even though it was that answer it was CORRECT!?
Also it takes 5,485,478,597,845,789,548,795,897,549,785,478,954,978,457,980,547,895,798,570,895,780,547,089,540,789,575,475 years to do math and reading lessons and why give us medieval torture with computers, like computers and homework was good, but with iready, no one is safe, help me from this app and shut it down.

I-ready is not fair and should be banned.

I-ready is one of the worst apps I have ever seen. It bases the lessons you get on stupid hour long tests on thing that can be 2 grade levels above you so you get lessons that are to easy, and if you guess on the questions and you guess right you get lessons that are way too hard. The lessons take so long and if you get the lessons wrong you have to do it again so it takes even longer. And the worst part is some schools have kids do anywhere from 1 to 10 in one week. it adds so much unnecessary stress and some kids can get in trouble with their parents because teacher contact home when the kids don't do the i-ready lessons. some people don't have time to do them at school or at home so they get in trouble. this is not fair to the kids at all. I think i-ready should be banned from schools.

Please read this, we need to work on our coding people

Dear I ready
Every time I log onto I ready and see the stupid cover, my day is ruined. I may be only 13 but I can clearly see what an absolute disaster this app is. This platform has no sense on academic skill and has been giving me questions I could solve in 30 seconds. It has literally asked me 1+1 because they have to "STEP IT OUT" or whatever such nonsense. Every lesson is just wasted time and worsening my mood. It can barely phrase anything in a way that makes sense and will sometimes go on about irrelevant paths to help me "practice"! It's truly a ridiculous platform with more bugs than an ant pile. The graphics are the only thing that is genuinely okay and even those are few and far between. I'm sitting in class doing advanced algebra and sphere volume and then I get on I Ready and it tries to teach me fraction addition. You might think that maybe I didn't put my best efforts on the skill review, but I'll have you know that I put in a lot of hard work into those questions. The "games" are mindless and no fun to anyone with working common sense. The store ones teach fake assumptions about the economy and are genuinely mundane. I've seen better games designed by a 10 year old. The "entertainment" is so depressing, I've been more entertained by tracing the little bumps on my walls. Frankly they're terrible. So far I've only complained about math and the games, but don't even get me started on reading. The passages are repetitive and lame. I've read the same story 3 times in a month. The questions aren't challenging and seem to ask relatively the same thing. The "vocabulary" lessons are also absurd. They are basically just filling in blank after blank with the "correct word". I have a large vocabulary so this might just apply to me but every vocab lesson, I know every word. I know this might not be true for most but I believe anyone can learn these words relatively quickly without the whole lesson. It just feels pointless. When you complete a goal your supposed feel good about yourself. Completing an I Ready lesson give me no such feeling. I've felt more satisfied stepping on a Lego. The lessons are also completely uneven. I can complete a reading lesson in 2 minutes, while a math lesson can take me up to 20 minutes. I don't know what nightmare you had that spawned the idea for this app, but whatever it was I suggest getting a therapist or a mental health doctor to help you. The trauma from this app definitely makes me need it too. There's no shame in admitting it. Your app just genuinely sucks. It's just horrific, truly dreadful. The sight of it is atrocious. Please just take this abominable app down and spare us the misery of looking at this insufferable platform ever again.

Sincerely- A concerned and annoyed student

Youp is the only thing that got me…

Youp is the only thing that got me through the early years now I hate it. One time I got a glich where I clicked an answer and it was wrong. It then showed me the answer and it was the one I picked. Make it make sense and I hope you lose your law suit. JK

I ready

I ready, No... Its I ready to fail. its useless garbage with its monotone voices and endless yapping about stuff you already know, like you get one thing wrong then your down to what's 1 +1? when you were originally doing 5th grade math. Its more like torcher then learning, I would rather go to school an extra day then use this AI slop. its a dumpster fire pretending to be a learning platform. PLEASE IF YOU CONSIDEING TO USE THIS DONT ITS TORCER

Im in 5th grade and this honestly app honestly sucks

Im in 5th grade and this honestly app honestly sucks. First the lessons and everything are boring, the lessons are bland, and it makes you learn nothing. The diagnostic is just a blatant lie it’s not grading you it’s just giving you a random grade and the teachers are fine with it. This should be illegal.
