Student criticism
Students criticize I-Ready for being a waste of time. Some students even want I-Ready banned from schools. Quote from Sebastian Tamayo on Change.org: "I-Ready causes stress for students and does not teach anything to students, is a big waste of time and has no benefits. It can cause hours of time to get past the tutorial of 1 lesson. Not to mention, usually teachers assign at least 5 lessons of I-Ready a week. Also thats only one teacher imagine reading and math teachers assign 5 lessons each due at the end of the week, there just isn't enough time. With all this time students will not have time for extracurricular activities like sports. We have to remove I-Ready to take off all of these negative effects from students." 44,355 people signed the petition. Many other students voice concerns on social media.
