IXL has caused me a lot of stress because it focuses too much on constant repetition and penalizes mistakes too harshly. If I get just one question wrong, I lose a lot of progress, which makes me feel defeated and less motivated to keep going. It becomes more about trying to get the right score instead of actually learning and improving my skills. The constant pressure to be perfect makes learning feel like a chore rather than an opportunity to grow.
On the other hand, Khan Academy has been a much more effective learning tool for me. It offers clear explanations, step-by-step videos, and allows me to learn at my own pace. If I make a mistake, I’m not punished but instead encouraged to try again and improve. Khan Academy feels more supportive, focusing on understanding rather than just scoring points. I feel like I actually learn new concepts and gain confidence, which makes me more motivated to continue.
Brielle supported: Common Core: Ban IXL in America.IXL is mentally draining, it’s terrible for us kids. I would even put it under as child abuse. No one should get this stressed over school work. EVER. Last year I used to love school and math but this year is completely different. In the morning I used to get up normally without an alarm always looking forward to school but now I have no motivation to go at all. I absolutely dread math now. My stress levels have hit the roof ever since school started this year, I’ve even gotten pretty severe anxiety and have cried over this several times and have had panic attacks. Please help this get banned. #BURNDOWNIXL🔥🔥🔥
Riley supported: Common Core: Ban IXL in America.I've always hated IXL, but I just brushed past it. However, this is just a lazy excuse for a learning site. My teacher recently assigned 14 IXLs all to be due within two weeks. Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot, but pair that with work from other classes and extracurriculars, and you have pretty much no time for yourself. I stay awake at night unable to sleep because I'm stressing about IXLs. I hold my breath as I press the enter button, only to be marked wrong because I entered an extra space. IXL doesn't teach, it just penalizes. Maybe if you're training a robot to do math it'll be fine, but many people forget that us teenagers and children are just as complex as an adult and can't be doing monotonous tasks all day without any reward.

mike supported: Common Core: Ban IXL in America.Personally, iready has become such a burden to students. We never use iready. and when we do? It’s the diagnostic with the SAME. THINGS. AS. ALWAYS. We aren’t learning! This is just putting unnecessary stress and anxiety on us students. As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, this program has made it so much worse.
Liv supported: Ban I-Ready From SchoolsIReady has burned out my 2 children completely. This website is the root of all evil. They have had my kids constantly working all day and exhausting themselves with barely 6 hours of sleep every night, keep in mind they are both tweens/teens. My texan healthy home environment has been ruined by this website with the arguments happening and amount of yelling trying to help my kids with work on top of it. I am unable to actively talk to my children as much as I could without this website because of its exhausting routines of using it making my kids and I exhausted. Speak up parents, this is not ok and look out for your children at all times.
Beatrice supported: Ban I-Ready From SchoolsI-Ready is stressful and unhelpful. As a student athlete, I am balancing 2 sports at a time, all while trying to keep straight A's and have a healthy family relationship, which are all important. I-Ready takes up so much of my weekend time, and I end up spending an hour on two lessons alone. This is too much for me to handle, on top of studying and other homework we are assigned. This has to stop.
