Math, the bane of existence for many, has haunted humanity since the dawn of time. Its cold, unforgiving grasp ensnares unsuspecting souls in a web of confusion and despair. From the ominous symbols of algebra to the mind-numbing complexity of calculus, math is a labyrinth of torment, designed to confound and frustrate.

Firstly, let's consider its absurdity. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to invent such a convoluted system of numbers and operations? Counting sheep would be a more productive use of time than attempting to decipher the enigmatic mysteries of trigonometry.

Furthermore, math lacks practicality. When was the last time anyone used calculus to calculate the trajectory of a falling apple? Its relevance in everyday life is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Moreover, math is a breeding ground for anxiety and stress. The mere thought of a looming math test is enough to induce heart palpitations and night sweats. The pressure to excel in a subject that seems determined to crush our spirits is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment.

In conclusion, math is an insidious force that threatens to consume us all. Its complexities, lack of practicality, and detrimental effects on mental health make it a scourge upon humanity. It's high time we liberated ourselves from the shackles of this oppressive discipline and embraced a world free from the tyranny of numbers.

Jackass mother$#*!ing Aleks gives me a hard time, especially when you need a protractor for every $#*!ing problem. It also takes points away everytime you get an answer wrong. Oh, and don't forget the $#*!$#*! knowledge checks, Those are $#*!ing horrible. I'd rather be gangbanged by Esma and Yuki than use this $#*!ty $#*! software again.

I want to die this website doesn't teach you anything. The only thing I know now is how mad I can get.

Thanks ALEKS for making my Math grades HORRIBLE and making my math knowledge look like I know almost nothing about math! Just... WHY did you have to do this to me. I mean sure to teachers ALEKS seems to teachers like a great thing. To students however let's just say its ugh. I'm just average kid being torchered by ALEKS. Thanks again ALEKS!

I was forced to use this program in my college for chemistry and oh my God, I can't think of a worse program a college forces you to work with. I could ramble on and on about this program, but it will belittle you for the littlest things. Like, you could get an answer correct, but it will mark you as incorrect just because you wrote 3 instead of 3.00. Terrible.

Why do you have such a bull $#*! $#*!ing wedsite and you make kids go back and kids have to do the same topics and it is such bull $#*!

Didn't teach me anything, made me cry on multiple occasions, and constantly guarantees a bad grade of my peers because the topics are just too difficult to finish, resulting in a horrible completion grade. Not at the correct pace of classes, so I had to rely on Google for the past two semesters. -A (very tired) Student.

When i was told i thought it be easy but aleks is all ways wrong it sucks it sucks v v it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks.

This program is an abomination. My initial thought was that it was cool that it starts you from your current knowledge base, however as a 41 year old taking college algebra for a requirement for a degree that has nothing to do with math, this site has been more of a nuisance than anything. I'm sick of wasting 2 hours a day to sometimes not even make any progress if I'm not grasping a concept in its entirety. I find myself trying to find clearer explanations on youtube and google. The fact that when you miss a question it takes away from your progress and will kick you out to make you work on something else is ridiculous. Usually when I'm struggling I am basically understanding and getting some correct and some wrong, or I'm gradually understanding but then it kicks me out just when I feel like I'm starting too actually get the material. I work and so far in college I've kept mostly A's and some B's but with this I have already cried a couple of times, and school's only been in session for a week. I feel like this program is foisted upon students so the teachers have less to do since this is supposed to teach us. To be honest- I will NEVER need to know any of this $#*! for real life and I just want to pass this class without totally screwing up my gpa. Anyway. The kids reviews on here crack me up because they are correct- as mellowdramatic as they are I feel the same way!

As Satin himself once said, "ALEKS is A##." The amount of BS this app gives is equivalent to the holocaust, The great depression, and Raping a Giraffe 13 times over, what was the point of abolishing slavery when this is literally the same thing. Freddy Fasbear could not even comprehend how much this gives me the urge to drop kick an autistic Koala with down syndrome back to the depths of hell where the creator of ALEKS jacks off to Algebra text books while listening to a song about the numbers of pie. My last dying breath will curse the Satanic rituals we have to commit every week just to get a knowledge check and loosing all your progress. Honestly, a Cliff looks like a good career path right now after completing the 20th topic we have to do this week, studies show that ALEKS is the leading cause of PTSD in the USA and is on the rise, and the people who make the problems are most likely eight year olds also mass producing adult toys for Mexicans in a sweat shop somewhere in the middle east. ALEKS is more confusing than a Transgender Midget who is semi $#*!ed. So in conclusion I believe ALEKS is not the optimal learning tool and is gay... F ALEKS

I've only used this site for about two weeks now (my college has recently switched over from Pearson, which, until this point, I thought was the worst piece of flaming garbage regarding math software) and I already want to die. I would genuinely rather be in the Holocaust than ever even think about this software again in my life. I would rather get drugged and molested by Bill Cosby. I would say that I hope the creator of this software dies, but death is too good for this man. He needs to suffer. It's easier to balance on top of the world's first plane, carrying seventeen angry, hungry alligators, all while thirty-two escaped convicts beat you to death and violate you than even think about using this hellspawn site. If Epstein was still alive, I would rather fly to his island and have a sleepover with him, R. Kelly, and Bill Cosby for a week straight than go back on ALEKS. I'm losing sleep, brain cells, and sanity. The "kNoWlEdGe ChEcKs" fill me with an indescribable sense of sheer dread. Teachers, if you're reading this, never use this software, and if you do, there's a special place in hell for you. I would rather have a thirteen inch cactus shoved in all of my holes than ever work with this site again.

EVERY WEEK I AM FORCED TO COMPLETE 90 MINUTES OF ALEKSSSS. IT SUCKS AND I WISH THE TEACHERS WOULD JUST TEACH US LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO! THIS LITERALLY CAUSED MY TO FAIL MY CLASS I HOPE THE CEO FALLS OFF A CLIFF AND GETS EATEN BY A SHARK.

ALEKS YOU SUCK YOU NEED TO KILL YOURSELF AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LONLEY YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A WIFE OR KIDS I GOING TO SUE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY YOUR THE RESSION MY GANDPA IS IN JAIL

Aleks is terrible because it takes too much time and there are not unlimited topics so i cannot consinstantly learn 10 a week

It suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck it suck

This site is weird. I am forced to do 10 lessons on this site every week, which is practically impossible. Why? Bceuase the math here is unheard of. You cannot tell me you know what a double-number line is. And you cannot tell me you know what number chips are, either. The math has nothing to do with what I do in class and barely helps me. And these lessons are put in the grade book. Thanks to you ALEKS, now I have an F in math. Also, the interface on this site is horrible and pixelated. You cannot tell me it is not.

This drained my mental health in school and I was going insane plus losing sanity as I was working.

Nobody likes ALEKS, lets be real. The explanations make no sense and all it does is be a time consuming, raging math game. And if you have strict parents, they would probably force you to get to a 100% and be top of your class. But all you end up doing is beating yourself up over putting 2.23 instead of 2. ALEKS is a great way to ruin your mental state and overall, would NEVER reccomend.
