Sparx Maths, despite its intentions, has become a source of frustration and anxiety for countless students, turning what should be an enriching learning experience into a relentless cycle of stress and confusion. Each session feels more like a punishment than an opportunity for growth, with complex tasks piling up and diminishing the joy of learning. Instead of fostering a love for math, it often leaves students feeling overwhelmed and defeated, unable to grasp the concepts amidst a sea of countless repetitive exercises and vague explanations. It’s heartbreaking to witness young minds, filled with potential, struggle and lose their confidence, all in the name of a program that fails to meet their individual needs. With the emotional toll it takes, it's clear that Sparx Maths not only hinders academic progress but jeopardizes students' mental well-being, making a compelling case for its urgent reconsideration and banning from educational environments.

Use to like maths and science, now I feel trapped and like it has become a chore. I really HATE sparx
I think sparx maths is a child labour and cruel thing that should not be intraduced to young minds.It drains sense of communitty/belonging and drains kids self worth,self respect,makes them think there not good enough.Futhermore makes them feel overwhelmed and i could list a million more reasons. My son does not deserve this child labour.
Sparx is giving me anxiety and it’s straight up depressing, the bookwork checks are an absolute joke and I know why they do them but they don’t work. Not only that when I’m working out a question it logs me out randomly. It just stresses me out
Sparx maths has completely ruined my enjoyment of multiplication and problem solving. I used to enjoy multiplications and now it brings me misery and a slight anxiety. I only have negative feelings towards sparx maths. A classmate of mine said "I'm obviously smart enough to do my sparx, but im just really unmotivated to do it." we both have stress and frustration from the never ending questions with an unsettling layout. Then they make us do boring sloppy "games" that are even more off-putting and horrible than the wuestions because they take even longer. I never want to partake in puzzles and really anything that i used to find fun because of sparx. Well done sparx, Add this to your impact page because this has forever changed me as a person.
My teacher set one during the October half-term and made it sound like our fault for not doing it. Doesn't help — he didn't put it on our homework notification platform!!!
SAVE ME PLEASE I AM SUFFERING ;(

i think this should be banned because of the stress it causes to young people especialy the year 7s because they have just cme out of primary school with no secondary experience so it causes to much stress for the children
