Students and kids should not be forced to do XtraMath. One reason I think this is because XtraMath doesn't teach you how to solve problems. It just forces you to do them. My friends and I do XtraMath, and if any one of us gets a problem wrong in Race the Teacher, it takes away all of our previous smilies. Another reason I think XtraMath should not be used is because at the beginning of every new year, it restarts you. Even if your teacher, and your friends and your parents and even yourself knows that you know these problems, and you solved them last year, it STILL restarts you! I've been doing XtraMath since I was in second grade, but I've restarted. AGAIN. A third reason that I think you should not need to do XtraMath is because it takes forever to finish multiplication and division. Thank you for reading.
