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.
