The pain I suffered
November 13, 2020

IReady caused me many pin and suffering. It also put me on misery. I strongly believe this website should be taken down because it puts teenagers in depression.

This is such a cheap waste of time. WHY do teachers still use this it makes students/me stressful and we have to do 1-2 lessons every day. Everyone at my school talks about how bad iready is. If you put this in front of Frank Woods it would be worse than the chair. So ya this app is soooooooo… bad.No Cap.

Its absolutely horrible
November 10, 2020

This app is horrible, when its not crashing because you have a second tab open, its giving you lessons that you fail and giving you lessons more difficult than the last. I do not recommend this app to anyone, and if you do have it you should delete it. I highly recommend that schools should stop using it.

This is the worst ever, im so damn done with this. Im forced to do 1 or 2 lessons every day and this will plunge my grades, i want to cause a mass shooting whoever decided i-read is a good site, i cant take it anymore. It never explains the answer, Everyone acts like its a huge deal if you fail. I'm sorry for the students who has to go through this, Nobody should have to go through this.the voices are the worst and its just endless talking, we are forced to do this. THIS IS MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WERE TREATED LIKE KINDERGARTENERS, just to say teachers don't do this, just please! I'm so done with this!

I've been forced to use iready for over 4 years now, and after that I have a few problems.
First off is just basic nitpicks. It was clearly very cheaply made, the desperate attempts at jokes just make everything worse, and they occasionally get some things wrong, "Wow, that mushroom is 1 pound! That's gotta be some kind of world record."
On top of that, iready has some fatal flaws in its teaching, they expect the student to understand everything that they're supposed to answer. When you get something wrong, it doesn't give any real help, it just tells you the same thing that you already did. Another important issue is sometimes the right answer is wrong. On several occasions I've answered a question, iready says it's wrong, it shows me the answer, and it's the same thing that I answered.
But most importantly, iready is just really boring. Other teaching resources have something that makes them entertaining. Iready just doesn't have any of that. Hundreds of students all over the world, including myself, all collectively agree that iready is a waste of time for everybody involved, and it should stop being shoved down our throats.

And the questions are so darn easy it pains me.

I HATE I-READY
November 4, 2020

I-ready is a complete waste of time and it teaches you nothing. I-ready lessons can take so long and can be so exhausting staring at the computer for that long. It doesn't even teach you what your actually going to learn in class. Also teachers think that it's a good program but its not I absolutely hate it. It makes me tired and not motivated to do anything else. I wish that this program gets taken down because it's the worst thing I had to do. I think that instead of wasting your time on this program actually go educate yourself on what your actually going to learn because I-ready teaches you nothing so dear people who made I-ready delete your program!

These tests do not test students based on their grade level. I would not recommend any district use this test because you are not getting a clear picture of what they know.

What a trash site
October 21, 2020

Wow, this is filled with students ranting and losing their mind, but 5-star reviews on i-Ready means two things: One, they are a criminal, or two, they are the corrupt person in a board of education you've been looking for. It doesn't teach anything (an example would be it disguises one-digit subtraction as fraction subtraction.) It is graded, there is a bug which when you get a grade of 70/100 (the lowest passing grade,) it says you didn't pass it and you have to do it over. Speaking of doing it over, that is completely unnecessary and I could rant on all day just about that "feature". My school (I'm in 4th grade) says you have to do 1 lesson and 45 minutes of it per week. What a stupidly trash site! Someone named Vivi P. Said it was good, well I am discrediting her by name. Sorry, but you're wrong Vivi.

Wow, 12.5k views and 35 helpful votes?!?!? This review was a joke and now I'm in the 5th grade.
