Thanks for checking back in with the blog! I ran a poll on my Instagram between IXL and Spanish, and obviously, IXL won the vote. Technically I made a "Why IXL Sucks" before, but it's outdated. Anyways, enjoy the post!
IXL is the worst math program I've ever used. That is not an understatement. I mean it. First of all, IXL punishes you for getting a question wrong. IXL SHOULD BE A PRACTICE TOOL. Also, when you do get a question wrong, it gives you helpful advice, right? Wrong. The advice it gives is absolute dogshit. Not to mention that the questions are usually worded in some weird way or the fact that they overcomplicate things a lot of the time. DeltaMath is bad, I know, but it's a lot more forgiving than this. DeltaMath has a whole fucking video to help you, and guess what? The advice it gives is actually helpful, unlike IXL. My 2nd block teacher assigns 2 IXL's each day, and they're due Tuesday. I HAD 14 FUCKING IXL's IN THE SPAN OF A WEEK AND A HALF. Not to mention the fact that they add on DeltaMath's and normal classwork, so you basically have no other choice but to do it as homework. I honestly don't understand why teachers think it's a good idea to assign mandatory IXL's. If anything, they should be optional. It's like the teachers are too lazy to help you anymore so they just let a fucking computer do it for them. If we learned the material from the teacher, then why do we need to do IXL's? It's as if the teacher isn't confident enough in their own teaching skills. Also let's just cover the fact that IXL costs money. HCDE HAD TO PAY FOR EVERY STUDENTS ACCOUNT. Imagine actually paying money for this worthless shitty program. Just sad, really. Thanks for reading this week's post. You may have noticed this post is labeled "2022 Edition" and that's because in 2020, I made a "Why IXL Sucks" post, and it's a bit outdated now. It still has some great points, so I'd appreciate it if you also checked that post out as well. Anyways, have a great weekend! Bye!
