Why do we have to do this it is boring and no one likes it... and if it is rated one star then why are we using it. The math lessons are too hard and it takes so long this is $#*! and nobody likes it because it is not helpful like why is this thing a real thing I would give it a zero star but that is not possible. Take this stupid app down or i will keep sending comments about how bad it is so thank you for looking into my request
This stuff is bull and everyone hates it.

It's so incredibly draining and time consuming for students. If a student needs help with something in class it won't teach anything, it will just give something random. The math instructions take very long while the reading instructions are very short and simple although they both are never clear about what they're actually teaching. Nothing that is taught on this website is remembered, so it's honestly just a waste of time. I'm convinced whoever made this was just a lazy teacher.

I am a 6th grader who has to do I-ready. 30 minutes a week, 1 lesson a week. Doesn't seem too bad right? Let me just say it wouldn't be bad if it wasn't the most boring, mind-numbing site in the entire universe. If you get 3 questions wrong on the final quiz, BOOM 50%. Just got 2 wrong? 67. The quizzes barely even relate to the actual lesson anyway. And if you fail the quiz you need to retake the entire lesson, and you don't even get coins for it! If you want to play games and actually have fun on the site you have to do OVER 3 LESSONS, WHICH TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR TO PLAY A 30-SECOND GAME! So stupid. This site SUCKS. Teachers do not realize how much this is making kids dislike math. Plus, I consider myself a good student, (all A's) but if I don't want to do I-ready, those A's go down the DRAIN. Ughhhhh, shut down this site PLEASE!

Sucks
October 27, 2022

Crap Do not download. This site is so Stressful and Dumb. As a student I ready Has not taught me anything. And the Teachers On this site Omg are so annoying Oops Try again, Um that doesn't look right.
And The Test Holly crap Probably the Worst Grading Ever. Get one rong A, automatic C Like What the Hell.
And The lessons Don't teach you Anything But Say Nope Not rite. And it is just the Problem. Like A+17(9+9)
Like You didn't tell me How to Do the Problem. Diagnostic, Brain breaks don't do Anything But waste time
And Not even my grade level Skills. And it makes you repeat The Lesson after you Fail it And Doesn't Teach You how or Improve Your Mistakes. And the one star Is only for the Games. So, WASTE OF MONEY SCHOOLS WASTE OF TIME AND LEARNING!

Never ever use this app
October 26, 2022

This app is the worst app in the world. It's so bad I could write a whole essay about how bad it is and I'm not even in middle school yet. One time when my friend was using this it told him what's 5x5 it's 25 right? But when he put 25 but it told him the answer is 24 crazy. Plus it is super duper boring it makes 30 mins feel like 2 hrs no joke. Just laying on the ground makes 30 mins feel faster than doing iready! NEVER USE THIS APP IT WILL NOT TEAHC YOUR CHILD ANYTHING. And that is coming from a kid if you buy this be warned lots of dumb equations and complaining. This app also tries to teach me things that I learned in 3rd grade and I'm a 5th grader!

Terrible to use.
October 26, 2022

Using this thing is so infuriating because my students have so much trouble navigating when trying to do their math. I would like to take the creator of this and throw him into a pit of lava for what he has done here. Creator, if you see this, go die. I work at the school and we are required to use it. I am a teacher and math is harder to do with this. About the business.

I'm an English teacher in Iowa, and in our school kids had to do at least 10 lessons per trimester. Which, granted, may not seem like that big of a deal. However, unlike the other teachers I saw the effect it had on all of my students. They would come to school glaring at me, seething, tired, and stressed. And I get it. I teach Junior High, they're going to hate me. But they have never been more tired than when I assigned these. It's advertised to only take 20ish minutes, but it takes way longer. One kid worked on it for an hour (while paying attention) and only then finished it.
Teachers, I urge you not to make your students do this.

After having to deal with this literal bore of a program for my entire curricular experience, I can positively tell anyone that it sucks. The learning is slow and not engaging at all. As a nuerodivergent student who can barely sit through lectures on anything, a lecture on $#*! I already know just puts stress on me. Even the diagnostic sucks, I've had scores fluctuate only due to guessing. I never even want to talk about those, they crush people's self esteem. Following through with the lessons, it took an hour for my $#*!ing basic linear functions lesson two years ago, leaving me with only 5 hours of sleep to get through the school day and everything after. Insane. The rewarding games even don't feel good. They're low quality games made to mash together the idea that learning is fun, which it is, but things like this and the American education system barely teaching anyone anything in a fun way or really teaching at all. Let's look on a global scale, can any of you tell me the gunpowder formula, how to make soap or penicillin, how about making electricity or gas? Our education system choosing things like I-Ready instead of teaching actually useful things like where the things we need to live come from or how to live after school is just bizarre to me. Honestly, I've heard people talk about killing themselves over school and it scares me.

Junk
October 24, 2022

The lessons are too long and it doesn't actually teach kids things and if you get like 70% or lower you have to restart the whole thing it's just super annoying and overall just like google says can cause stress depression and suicidal thought's.

If I could, I would never use this website ever again! It is extremally boring and it makes me sad every time I am forced to use it. Today, I just got in trouble at school because, and who gets the blame? Me! I recommend that you don't use it. -100/10 rating.

I had to do this when I was younger and I remember everyone hating it. I actually never met a single real life person who enjoys this. But this is just my opinion.
