As a student who has personally experienced the drawbacks of i-Ready, I am calling for its removal from our educational system in California. The lessons are lengthy and monotonous, often leading to disengagement rather than fostering a love for learning. The cost of implementing this program is also disproportionate to the minimal academic growth it promotes.

Moreover, i-Ready's approach to failure is counterproductive. Instead of providing constructive feedback and teaching students how to improve, it requires them to restart lessons they've failed. This puts unnecessary stress on students and does not contribute positively towards their learning experience.

An alternative like Prodigy could be considered instead. Prodigy is an engaging math game that makes learning fun while effectively teaching concepts - a stark contrast from the tedious nature of i-Ready.

This issue isn't just personal; many other students share similar sentiments about i-Ready's ineffectiveness as an educational tool. It's time we prioritize quality education over convenience or cost-effectiveness.

Let's urge our school boards across California to reconsider their use of i-Ready and replace it with more effective, engaging, and student-friendly alternatives that truly promote learning rather than hinder it. Please sign this petition if you believe in better education for all Californian students also
