Edmentum Reviews 

OMG I HATE EDMENTUM. it actually made me lose brain cells.... um.. and it makes you learn stuff you already know and it is soo boring and it is no fun at all i actually want to leave school cause of this... like why the f***k should i have to do this... IT LOOKS LIKE ITS FOR FREAKING 3 YEAR OLDS!!!!! its really good at making students hate school and THE PROGRESS CHACEK MAKES YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF YOU GET BELOW A 80% LIke IT MAKES ME STUPID.... and WHATS WITH THE STUPID GRAPHICS!?!!?!?!?! IS THIS A JOKE?!?! IM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. LIKE< HELLO!!! 911??? HELP ME IM SUFFERING FROM STUPIDITY AND I CANT GO INTO 7th GRADE CAUSE MY TEST CORES ARE SOO LOW CAUSE OF EDMENTUM! WHY DOES THIS SITE EVEN EXIST!?!?!?!?!?!? IT DESERVES A 0, IN FUN, A 0, IN LEARNING, AND A 1,000000000000000000 THOUSAND MILLION IN STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!! USE THIS IF YOU WANT CHILDREN TO STAY BACK IN SCHOOL TILL THEY ARE IN THEIR 30'S!!!! AND THOSE 5 STAR REVEIW ARE STUPID PRANKS!!

This course was a joke. My kid was constantly in trouble for not bringing grades up and when she got progress reports they were different from edmentum report as well as the school report. Is she on track, of track or am I just loosing my mind. All year struggle with No credits to show for it!😠 This is the second time at trying this program with same results. If the schools and kids need parent involvement then they should work with us not give us the run around. I have tried to get this straightened out during the year but everyone gave a different reason but none were the same and nothing changed. I want full transparency and to be able to see each assignment and what my child did or didn't do. Where it went wrong or right. Paper assignments were handed out. There was a reason kids with paper assignments do better and have better problem solving skills. the work had Instructions, the assignment and then marked up with the scores. You could see clearly what it said to do and you could see if your kid did it or not you could see which ones were right and which ones were wrong so you can learn from the mistake. I don't feel like they're teaching that I feel like everything on the computer wants it's turned in it's not thought about it again. It's horrible way to teach.
Can we redo 9th grade? Should we? At this rate she will be 30 before she will get out of highschool. 🤦🏼‍♀️😭

It doesn't help me at all. With ANY of my work and mostly have to cheat in order to pass my classes. The progress checks don't explain the assignment clearly. When its clear I'm not on the level of education yet it make me do it over, and over again. Even when there is practices involved the mastery test is completely different than it. Most of the time the program doesn't even work. I know that the only ones to be reading this will either be the students of edmentum. And I understand this is just a program to help mostly teachers so that they could just have students to get on the computers instead of actual book work. But i believe that if you cant actually help students on this program than either shut it down or help fix it. here are a list of suggestions.

1. Whenever a student fails a mastery test give them a similar and easier lesson because its clear that they are not ready for that kind of lesson.

2. Make the mastery tests a little more like the practices in order for a more understanding of what it will take in order to pass that lesson.

3. Make the tutorials a little more interactive. I understand this one will get a lot of hate but in oreder to understnad the lesson a little easier they will have to interact with the lesson a little more.

4. I know this is going to sound dumb but if you know kids than this will make this will make sense.
Since we have to be on this a lot maybe make reward like if you get 100 on 3 mastery tests without having it unlocked then you get 5 hints on any master test.

5. make it lockscreen because kids usually use brainly or quizlet or google teanslate in order to pass. But maybe if its locked on like the golden horseshoe quiz then maybe it will influence kids to socialize with other kids into problem solving in order to find the answer.

6. I feel like if these were made for edmentum's new update it will make it a little better experiance for the learners.

i dont like the app

this literally fuvking sucks. all of your statistics questions are gibberish i swear to god. this is the worst app ever created. shut it down now please
thanks💞

EDMENTUM IS SO BAD "Sting and chip needs help"
NO I THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO LEARN THEY NEED TO HELP US THIS IS USELESS AND WHEN I DO A PROGRESS ChECK AND FAIL THEN I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN LIKE WHY CANT I GET HELP OR MOVE ON ALL I JUST DO IT FOR THE TROPHIES BUT THAT IS IT IT DOESNT EVEN HELP ME OR ANY OF MY CLASS MATES IT IS SO BAD IT IS USeless s o bad

if I could give this a negative rating I would, but since I cant I must say that this is the worst learning tool anyone has ever developed even teachers say so. we are forced to use this during school instead of working on our actual graded subjects taught by actual teachers. and all this does is show the people funding our schools that we are becoming spedd in reality we just have time taken away from us that we could be using to actually learn. I hope whoever is in charge of this takes some initiative to get rid of it or go to hell for not doing so thank you.

Edmentum is the worst thing for schoo. om saud do ti i got mad liek mcmon just hopon fort id ont want to do the s BULSHIT Hello edmentum have a BAD DAY

Dear Edmentum:

actually i rate this app 10000000000000000000000000000 stars its so good it helps children a lo like me i know that a lot of people hate it but its actually good and its really nice edmentum has too keep up the good work its so cool and really good website

The first day I used this, I immediately thought, "Who the hell thought that this was an idea that could be considered anything close to decent at all?" Anyone who doesn't see an issue with this has probably never seen the actual site for themselves, and just take the word of the people who created this extremely poor excuse of a learning program.

Schools really need to actually investigate a site before using them. Just because some dumb and idiotic people (aka the creators of Edmentum) say that some random site is good for students doesn't actually mean it's good at all. Our teacher gave us an assignment, and it didn't even save any progress we had. Nobody could finish it in time. If you couldn't finish, you just started from the beginning.

Nobody likes this program. Nobody wants to have to do this. Everybody just clicks through the tutorials as fast as possible. Everybody hates this site so much. Almost every single review is a 1 star review, and the 5 star reviews are complete jokes. And our district still thinks Edmentum is good for students.

First of all, whenever you get anything wrong, it either just tells you the answer with no explanation, or just says you're wrong, also with no explanation. It doesn't even tell you which part you got wrong. If you get a question wrong on a progress check, it just says you got something wrong and it doesn't tell you what you got wrong. I need to know what I got wrong in order to focus on the things I need to know in order to get past the progress check.

If you struggle to complete a course you have, instead of the app trying to help you by focusing on the skills you don't have, you're forced to restart the same course, over and over again for eternity. The progress checks always ask questions that have absolutely nothing to do with what you've learned in the tutorial of the topic.

The courses are always either WAY too difficult, or WAY too easy. In the Language Arts section, the program literally makes me learn about stuff like literal CAPITALIZATION, COMMAS, and SPELLING. I AM NOT A KINDERGARTENER. I KNOW MUCH MORE THAN HOW TO SPELL THE WORD CAT. ............... In the Reading section, the progress checks make me read passages that take the entire Edmentum session we get to read. Bro, you can't just expect me to read the entire bible just for one singular question.

This "learning" program is so bad that it's completely unthinkable. It's so horrible that I NEED an option to give negative stars just because of the fact that this is a real thing that exists. This program is so painful to use that it would be WAY more fitting to be a replacement for prison sentences than an actual curriculum. This program is so enraging that I would rather drop out of school before reaching middle school than have to use this program for anything after the rest of the school year. I am forced to endure this complete garbage in school, every day, and I have never learned a new thing. In fact, I feel like I'm losing braincells because of it.

Bro, you can't just expect me to read the entire bible just for one singular question.

The text-to-speech voices used in the app also have a problem. Sometimes, you're literally forced to listen to the text-to-speech voices before you can answer a question, which is very, VERY annoying. The voices themselves are so emotionless and robotic that I'm so sure that there's no way that any human could've made the voices.

There are always stuff about Stig and Chip. No matter where you go in the site, theres always Stig or Chip there. I'm so tired of "learning" about Stig and Chip's extremely unrealistic and boring life. I'm so tired of reading passages that are as long as the bible 5 times just for one random progress check. I'm tired of being forced to use the most boring "learning" program ever. Can you even call this anything close to a "learning" program at all?

If your school starts forcing you to use this extremely low-effort program that was made by people who have no idea how students are supposed to learn, just transfer straight to a new school immediately. You don't want to use this program, you don't want to have this program, you don't want to interact with this program, and you don't want to know that this program is a thing that exists. Humans are supposed to be considered intelligent lifeforms, but the fact that something like this was made by humans makes me question if that is anything close to true.

TL;DR: Edmentum is so bad that it makes me question humanity as a whole.

Dear Edmentum,
As a fifth grade student THIS EFFING SH*TY WEBSITE SUCKS. IF I DO THIS ANY MORE I WILL FLEP OUT SO HARD I WILL GO TO HAIL!! As part of my school newspaper team, we worked hard to form an article against Edmentum. We interviewed our principal, and confirmed that Edmentum would be banned next year due to the student complaints, and loss of braincells. EDMENTUM CAN BE VERY COFUZING (see what I mean I’m losing braincells!! Edmentum be like MWUAHAHAHAH) AND HARD TO USE AND SUPER EFFING FRUSTRATING AND THE LOADING TIME WILL SEND ME TO HAIL. *deep breaths. Deeeeeep breaths*
Sincerely,
Two frustrated fifth grade students

For a homeschool program, the cost seemed reasonable, until I had to hire a retired teacher. I have spent many hours also helping my child and wish I had seen the past review regarding the culinary course. Many of the test questions in this course have fill in the blank where there could be multiple correct answers such as crock-pot/slow cooker or molded/sculpted. Even when placing both correct answers in the blank, the system will count it wrong. One answer was counted incorrect for using the abbreviation following the answer of "Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)." For the unit activities, even with 100% of the rubric requirements being met, the culinary instructor is marking off points for not providing information not requested in the instructions. In one activity, she marked off stating she preferred another type of measurement to be used. My child questioned this when doing the assignment and we instructed them to use ounces as that is what was shown in the instructor's sample. As far as the other courses, the instructors have been fair and reasonable. Unfortunately, all of the unit activities require an extensive amount of research, reports, and essays on single topics that the tutor expressed are overboard and taking time away from learning more important information. If your child wants a career in research or writing reports and essays, then this may be the perfect curriculum. However, I recently spoke with a local school administrator who mentioned they used Edmentum in the past and it was so awful for the students, the following year they went with another company.

This is liveing hell. first "sTiG aNd ChIp NeEd HeLp DoInG mAtH." i thought they were 10 do math yourself.

Next, everytime i get a 70%/60% i redo the whole thing like it doesnt even move you to the level you can do it like im having trouble on a question but im to shy tootalk to the teacher but then i have to redo the crap again over and over until i get an 80% but then on my other thing i get like a 50% and then like i redo the crap over and over and over 1000 times until i give up and guess.

all those troll 5 stars are stupid dont give this stupid app 5 stars it's so idiotic i litterly want to leave school for this

This program is so utterly horrible that I wrote a 10-paragraph essay just to express how idiotic this garbage is.
This "learning" program is so idiotic that it's completely unthinkable. It's so horrible that I NEED an option to give negative stars just because of the fact that this is a real thing that exists. This program is so painful to use that it would be WAY more fitting to be a torture mechanism than an actual curriculum. This program is so enraging that I would rather commit suicide than have to use this program for more than a year. I am forced to endure this complete garbage in school, every day, and I have never learned a new thing. In fact, I feel like I'm losing braincells because of it.

The Edmentum “learning” platform is excellent at teaching kids to hate school. It clearly demonstrates why we need to pay flesh and blood teachers with a heart and a brain. Dry, boring, difficult to navigate lessons that often do not cover the material in tests. And answers to test questions are frequently vague, incorrect, and lack nuance. Horrible program, stay away if you can. Does an excellent job of frustrating my son, his tutor, and me.

bad bad bad bad

it was the worst if there was a 0 star I would hit it!!!!! and it makes me work on school things so if i get in trouble (witch is never) I would have to do that!! AT HOMEEEEEEEE :( xinfinity SO THIS IS A WARNING ITS A WAST OF TIME ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The only reason I'm not putting this on the one star is because no one would see this. The reviews are all one stars and the 5 star reviews are jokes. My entire school hates Edmentum, you couldn't find one person who actually likes it. The school newspaper is even writing an article on why Edmentum is bad. Don't force high schoolers to do Edmentum!

I’m a student who is forced to use this awful program. It says I 60% on a progress check and I failed. 60 should be a pass. That’s 3/5. Also, the progress checks aren’t even about what they “taught” us in the lesson. It’s always totally different. If I “fail” a progress check, they make me do the same lesson (that didn’t teach me anything btw) over and over again. Like, do you really think that making me do the same lesson over and over again will make me pass your crappy progress check? No! Overall, exact path sucks. Never use this. Mental tourture
