HAve you ever thought there was some app that is basically spying on you and is legal? Well you've come to the right place. Hapara. Hapara sucks. Like anything that is RECOMMENDED BY DELEADO is BLOCKED WHEN YOU CLICKED ON IT. For me, when you click a video that was recommended by Deleado safesearch they block it. That's what I meant in the previous statement. They can also spy on you 24/7. Plus, why don't they let us play games or watch fun things at the end of school, or at the weekends? Some people don't have opportunities to play on their own devices because their families can't afford such things. Additionally, I heard a rumor about them DOWNLOADING THEMSELVES into your school computers' files, sends an email that gets deleted within MILLISECONDS, and even though you might click on the Email, it says there's nothing there. Hapara is MALWARE. Also, forgot to mention, some of this could reach PERSONAL DEVICES. I bet a billion bucks ON THE LINE that if Hapara Highlights reaches EVERY SCHOOL in the WORLD, I bet everywhere, people go MAD.Overall, this website SUCKS and should be removed NOW.

Tip for consumers:
Nah, I'm just a student.

I'm going to write about one of their products, and it's called I-ready. The books are kind-of-good, but the website? HORRIBLE, OUT OF TOUCH, TERRIBLE ANIMATIONS, and HECK, YOU DON'T EVEN LEARN FROM THIS.
I used to be a student who got straight As when not doing I-ready, but then, everything changed when I was introduced to this heck of a website. I started getting Bs. Then Cs. My intelligence has been getting lower ever since I've been doing this. My parents telling me to do better on Iready, blah blah blah.
First I'm going to complain about their HORRIBLE, OUT OF TOUCH animations/characters. When you're in K-2, you're introduced to Plory and Yoop, which talk 99% of the time, without even a skip button, takes like 2 minutes to even finish the freaking intro, and then, when you get one question wrong, you get told how to do the problem and even if you got the problem right, they still explain how to do it. It wastes about 2 minutes which could be spent on my homework and guess what it is? 15 minutes of Iready. Then, with the HORRIBLE, OUT OF TOUCH animations, you literally have like an editing software that stretches the characters' limbs out SO LONG that their hands end up at their feet. Yeah, no. Then, I'm going to talk about the animations. I could literally pay Steve Cutts to make a better animation than the crap you made in your bought-off-eBay windows XP movie maker. Also, the microphone, a lot of people in my class, and others, complain that they can't even hear what the characters are saying, which ultimately marks a fail. Grab your 1900s microphone bought from eBay and throw it in the trash, then replace it with a Rode NT1-A microphone, which costs $150. Your company literally has 233.2 MILLION dollars, and you decide to save your crappy money to keep i-ready up. Like, LITERALLY, that microphone is ONLY $150! If you complain to the teachers about the microphones they're gonna be like "wHaT a PrAnK" but it's not.
The main point. I-ready is a dehumanizing assessment, according to google, because "The test strips away all evidence of the students' thinking, of her mathematical identity, and instead assigns broad and largely meaningless labels. The test boils down a student's entire mathematical identity to a generic list of skills that "students like her" generally need, according to iReady." WHich is true, because I lost my IQ because of this. Then the books. I'm going to explain why they are pretty bad. "
The books don't have visuals, pictures, or models besides the base ten blocks. It is not interesting to the students and does not provide visual learning like other programs do. The students struggle to connect with the math and stay focused on the lesson. It doesn't encourage real-world application of math."
Overall, I-ready is trash, and if you like it, get mental help. I-ready is a poorly made website that wants every cent including from your wallet, credit card, and bank account. It is just a cheap website to feed the CEO money to become greedy and rich (which he already was and is, anyway) Don't waste your time on this garbage. Don't become someone like the CEO of IReady. Bye, have a wonderful day, and I hope Iready gets banned forever.

Tip for consumers:
Please get rid of this garbage website.

Products used:
Iready. Piece of garbage, like it always is.
