My kids don't seem to have any issues with I-Ready, and I haven't heard any complaints from the other parents in my neighborhood. It's upsetting to hear it's causing issues for others. FWIW, in our district it appears to be used purely to determine where kids are at compared to the benchmark expectations. It may be coloring my views that my kids are both far above grade level according to the software.

i-Ready has two products, i-Ready diagnostic and i-Ready learning. The diagnostic is solely used for adaptive testing. The learning software is used for classwork, homework, and lessons. The learning software is what this is about. Lots of schools just use the diagnostic tests.

If the learning software isn't actually adaptive, is the testing software?

		That is how the teachers described it to us (the testing software being adaptive). As far as I know, we only use the diagnostic software. I wasn't aware of the existence of a learning version of this software.

I agree. I share your situation and comments.

I did look into the complaints and went direct to the source: My kids. ONe actively loves it. He seeks it out. I asked him about the author's complaints. He agreed its slow but didn't seem to bother him. He's not particularly patient, so this part was surprising based on the article.

Idk what the older brother will say but ill report back
