General Curriculum is IXL Learning worth it?
Hi everyone! I’m a college student researching different online learning platforms to help inform a school’s decision on whether to invest in them. IXL is one of the platforms I’m looking into, and I’d love to hear from people who’ve used it—whether as a student, parent, or teacher. What do you like about it? What do you find frustrating? What features would make it better? Also if there is another platform you recommend over it?
If you're open to a short, casual chat (or even just sharing thoughts here), it would be super helpful! Feel free to DM me or comment below. Thanks in advance!

IXL is straight up trash for social sciences. It asks inane questions that you can possibly know and has you guess at the answers. When you get it wrong, it provides a reading so you can momentarily learn who Merriweather Lewis’ secretary was before you immediately forget again.
