Mediocrity at its lowest πŸ’€

Ts ain’t tuff 🫩 someone delete this company from existence πŸ₯€ the story selections are so bad, I’m better off with the banged up books at my school library 😭

mid way of teaching, too much work

Okay so like I HATE THIS DUMB AHH APP!! Like yeah it’s like teaching and stuff but the stories are SO LONG AND BORING and to be honest with all they’re asking in the book it’s too much. Don’t even get me started on the actual textbooks being like THREE INCHES TALL πŸ’”. flip study sync and it’s annoying ahh work.

My teachers uses this app. I am mad.

WORST APP EVER! πŸ‘Ž

This app is awful. I am in 6th grade and I have never had this much work. I feel like my free time amount has decreased by at least 95% I say that a kid’s life should be more free! For example, with study sync I have to type at least one 200 word essay every day! This makes me sick.🀒 I want to encourage others to tell how they feel about this app and give it the ratings!

A Genuine Review Evaluating Curriculum

Overall, I think the app is slightly solid. It’s a subpar trustworthy source. The only problem I have with it is the questions and answers. The main problem I have with the questions is they are sometimes too broad, yet they expect you to answer with one very specific line. However, some of the questions are straightforward, so the questions are decent. The thing I am mostly not a big fan of is the answers, especially the skill questions. The skill questions have multiple choice questions that can subjectively have two correct answers, yet there is only one. Even though they promote evidence-based reading, most of it is β€œlogical” assumptions. Also, some answers just do not make sense.

I’m even saying it as a 4.3 GPA student, the curriculum is confusing. I’m not sure if I’m at fault or if the curriculum is generally flawed. Maybe I would think higher of it if it was actually more so text-based.
