The problem about IXL is it's rigged. The point system is glitched and it doesn't help kids. I looked at recent reviews and it actually makes students less engaged in the lesson IXL has to offer. Also, I found that some of the lessons make you assume genders. With IXL, it is possible to never be done with homework. If a student is required to get to a SmartScore of 85 and are struggling with a concept, it would take them far longer to complete than the 20 questions of book work. Some students of BAMS agree that IXL is causing them too much stress. The SmartScore point system is glitchy, and frankly, nobody wants the stress of this website. IXL can lead to stressful behavior those being destruction of computers, self, and peers. For example, The point system within the program the kids use in IXL is horrible. CONS: Drilling limits opportunities for kids to apply skills in real-world ways, and questions include too-frequent repetition. Bottom Line: Students can improve targeted skills with tons of practice modules and visually appealing tasks.
