IXL

For his birthday, Shawn's parents give him tickets to feed the penguins at the zoo! The zookeeper gives Shawn a bucket of fish to divide evenly among 6 penguins. Shawn feeds each penguin 3 fish.
Let f represent how many fish were in the bucket to start. Which equation models the problem?
Solve this equation to find how many fish were in the bucket to start.
First of all, there is nothing to be answered.
This is ixl, saying that boosts self esteem, lying about themself.

I'm going to be blunt. IXL is not enjoyable in the least. Its SmartScore is not understandable and unfair, and the explanations are wordy and not helpful, if you even take time to read them they should be more like bullet points. There are even multiple petitions to ban it and I would suggest signing all of them as someone who is probably ADHD. It should be based on quality, not quantity instead of vise versa.

I spend hours and hours on this damn point system to get to 100, which by the way, is unfair in all standards, and when I make a mistake, it drops 20 POINTS! Like, WHAT THE HELL, IXL? I've had to answer like 50 questions because it gives me completely unrelated things like if an ant eats 400 grams how big is the sun WHAT IS THIS? And the worst part is, it takes up WAY too much time! Like, I got S*** to do other than have a MENTAL BREAKDOWN OVER A GODDAMN MATH QUESTION IN LIFE! And I'm not even bad at math! I'm in NINTH GRADE LEVEL MATH
The questions also scale from how much is 2t+2t and the next questions is like 5(7y+23+8986)=? 1 star. Do NOT recommend unless you want to have as much rage and hatred as Satan himself.

So, I'm having a nice elementary school and then IXL comes in. This site IS SOOO BORING. I'd rather do a Blooket ALL DAY. At the end of the year the teachers give us cards and say, "Write down what you didn't like this year." We've been doing IXL since 1st grade and every year I've said IXL. And I'm in 5th grade so that wasn't a short time either. ONE STAR EASILY IF THERE WAS NO STARS THAT WOULD BE WHAT I USED.

It makes people cry hard which I hate to cry some teachers like to lie and tell you that IXL is good but sue them nope is bad as heck it makes teens break laws and break their laptop so I highly suggest making your kid quit IXL and do a peaceful protest by not doing their IXL work but it probably make your teacher call both of your parents. So please stop doing this silly app and middle schoolers don't forget to protest unfair homework stress. Go to your parents NOW

I am a top student in my class. I take geometry in 8th grade because its an advanced class. The point system is unfair and makes me want to jump off a bridge for wasting my time. I had to do 10 ixls in half a week and the awful point system makes it so it takes 30 minutes for each ixl. That is 5 hours of mind numbing negative reinforcement and not even engaging work. To do in 3 days.

It is boring pls ban now everyone hates it reviews are terrible just ban or I gonna quit school. It is'nt necessary but at my school it is our life pls ban and shut it down.

IXL is torture I don't know what FR#CKING DEVIL made the hellhole you get punished for getting questions wrong which is evil I hate you i'd rather marry Hitler than do as much as hold the door for you.

This causes me depression, and even a couple, I wish I did not exist,t do not recommend
It causes kids depression!

Fxxk ixl and the teachers who let their student uses it. Fxxk ixl and the teachers who let their student uses it. Fxxk ixl and the teachers who let their student uses it. It's the best tool for the teacher that lazy and want to teach his student nothing

IXL made me lose most of my humor and happiness it's so repetitive and you lose so much points when one question wrong but for some reason YOU GET 1-2 POINTS WHEN OVER 80 SCORE?! You lose like 12 points in one wrong at that point my teacher assigned us 30 IXLS TO DO IN 2 WEEKS this app is for SUFFER and DEPRESSION, stress, makes you mad and kills you in the inside.

Im a student and ixl is funky like real funky and it can steal your data bro just lay off my guy this is so dum i will sue u if ur reading this IXL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It is a terrible platform should be removed It is infuriating for most people and the people who like it are teachers who don't care.

I had in math i had the exact same answer as it marked and it marked it wrong. Terrible website man i hate and there are no way someone can redeem themselves after getting it wrong and also it is one of the only apps the make have no confidence in myself

Im not even lying ok, and im a student in grade 9. I am the top student in my grade so there is no reason for the excuse that, "Oh, this person's just badly academically educated, that's why IXL doesn't work for her." Its not let me tell you up that straight. My school which has 1000 students trialed IXL and left it out 2 weeks after. IXL makes me literally want to kill my self and jump off a bride cuz it's absolutely hideously atrocious. I actually have FUN doing Cambridge Math Books which are like 16 centimetres thick. If my computer breaks don't blame me. Blame IXL

Ixl has terrible point systems, causes anxiety and depression, uses repitition instead of teaching a better way, and doesn't give second chances. It caused frustration and anger problems for my child.

IXL sucks let's all be honest after school I go home after my 7-hour school to relax then I remember I can't I have to do IXL I spend at least 3.5 hours on IXL weekly oh and the points part is rigged they give you 10 points if you get it right but if you make one tiny little misclick it takes 13 points and I have severe anger issues so I slap myself rip my hair out and punch myself over this stupid website it's the reason I have a 0% in my math class.

IXL is a fine learning app but the way they frase some of their words are infuriating for kids and the challenge zone questions jump up to a whole different level that isn't fair for the childs knowledge not forgetting the fact that you get about 2 points per question in the 70 and 80 but if you get one wrong it penalizes by 10 the point system is the worst part cause it ruins the child's self esteem

There have been many many tears shed. I was at a 98 smart score and it went down to a 70. I swear this is what taxes are going to. Why invent such a terrible torture device.

Please dont do ixl, i failed many of my classes because of it and now im homeless, I am typing on a library computer and i wish you to not do what i did an dont do ixl.
ALSO for teachers it makes your kids stressed and insacure, my friend is in the mental hospital no :(

I am a 7th grader in Middle School and my school recently introduced IXL into their curriculum. I hate it, most people at my school hate it. The Smart Score System is too punishing and the Diagnostic takes far too long only for my score to drop every time I take it. I see people destroying their chromebooks all the time because of this. Not to mention the lawsuit on them over alleged claims of stealing data from all users who could even be me. Not to Brag but also to Brag but I have an A in all but 1 of my class (P.E somehow) but my IXL Diagnostic score does not correlate at all with it. I am in 7th grade and my measurement skills are 3rd grade level according to them. This is not as important but names for all the measurements of student preformence given to teachers by the IXL salesmen are really weird like "Starburst," and a bunch of other weird names that they don't tell us about. There are many reports about how it's bad for your mental health and other stuff and I think it's true. The Smart Score also turns homework that is 20 minutes long at max to 1 hour and 36 minutes. I am serious It took that long on 1 homework assignment. If you are a school administration member or teacher or parent reading this, please don't use IXl, there are cheaper and better alternatives.

It is so so annoying! I am so stressed and cried several times! I got a 80 and it went all the way to 70! Like it was saying chose what looks equal on all sides, and there was this shape that was sometimes and sometimes NOT equal. It was SOoo annoying! It wanted me to break my compputer! Yall shouldnt do IxL! Takes me FOREVER!

IXL SUCKS just like I READY they are the same and i DO ixl alot just like iready and i want to have my weekend off but i have TODO BOTH AND THERE LONG FOR NO REASON AND THEY PUT THINGS THAT WE CANT UNDERSTAND
