Bedrock Learning Reviews 118

Bedrock is bloody horrible!
You learn the most random words that no sane person would use in a conversation. The pictures are subjective,and the NARRATOR OMG THE NARRATOR IS SO DAMN SLOW

As someone who’s been forced to use this site for a few years, I can say it’s not very good, and as a linguistics nerd, it’s such a shame as Bedrock Learning makes learning English seem not cool.
First off, the way new words are introduced is really bad because they’re always explained in long-winded, hard to explain ways. And, when you click on a definition of a word (which you must do 3-4 times to progress), you have to sit through the entire recording of the narrator reading out the definition.
Second, the questions aren’t any better either as they almost always multiple choice, and follow the same structures of “find the synonym/antonym of [word]?”, “what image matches [word]?”, so after a few lessons they become really easy and lose educational value since they can be completed in 1-3 minutes without thinking.
The grammar section isn’t any better; it forces you to watch 5-10 minute videos explaining the topic, and of course it’s as slow as possible. And the questions are even worse; you have to write out quite long sentences out of some fragments given, but the fragments can’t be copy and pasted, so you have to manually copy it, and even when I matched the fragments character by character, it still said I got it wrong, and because you need a certain percent right to continue, I’ve reached a point where I can’t progress any further because of this exact problem.

Do NOT choose bedrock for your class, teachers

Been using this for 4 years for school and honestly I genuinely can’t anymore, I’m not sure what bedrock does but it certainly doesn’t teach children anything, the amount of rage you can feel doing bedrock is the amount of rage you would feel if a teacher started shouting at you and calling you a liar, child abuse don’t use it

It is honestly that bad this site is absloulty thrash I put in right answers and it marks it worng

this website is absolute garbage. it is one of the worst things humanity has come up with. I hope schools remove this from their curriculums

this website is tortue this will be my nightmare this will become a bigger issue as more kids start being forced to use this before you know it they will spam 1 star review this website and it will be taken down this is insanity the website is glitchy and the work is extremely unsanppy it feels like a bunch of childrect completed in a few minute and ill just summurize the leat of your worries when using this app :

Unbelievably patronising and activities and extracts have made direct positive references towards hateful figures, which was the final straw with my tolerance for this site.
At my school, bedrock was initially trailed with that year's Y11 top sets and no one gave positive feedback but their trail ran out so we're stuck with it until god knows when.
Just to add to the mentioned of the hate figure (since more information was requested) the first instance, and the worst, is during an activity within B9 T13 Women Writers (I can't remember which lesson but it is in reference to learning the word alias) there is a mock text message which says "Did you know that the author Robert Galbraith isn't a real person? It's an alias!" (direct quote). For those who may not be aware Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym used by hate figure Joanne Rowling and the only thing this can possibly be referencing. It is also important to note that Robert Galbraith isn't a name Rowling made up and chose, but is also the name of conversation therapist Robert Galbraith Heath, who did many abusive things such as illegal drug trials with black prisoners, and most prominently for my complaint, mounted electrodes to an man's skull in an attempt to turn him straight, which is reflective towards Rowling's views and opinions on certain members of the LGBTQ+ community today. It's also important to note that many books that Rowling has published under the Galbraith name have contained extremely hurtful and transphobic stereotypes.
The second instance again references to Joanne Rowling within the same block and book, this time lesson 79. It is within the extract itself and makes reference to her more commonly known alias, J.K Rowling. I understand that it is within the spirit and the tone of the book to mention her among many other successful female writers and it may have been written before Rowling really started to spread her transphobic rhetoric. However, we should not be giving this woman a platform at all. The inclusion of her name within the text is completely out of touch, especially considering the money she gets from the series she's written under the name J.K Rowling has been used to fund hate groups and destroy the lives of many trans and trans+ people throughout the UK and beyond. I understand that Harry Potter is a culturally significant series but that success is now overshadowed by Joanne's social media presence. A bit of an extreme sample but it's like saying Hitler was a great artist and not acknowledge the mass slaughter of political opposers, Jewish communities, disabled people and many other minority groups that he orchestrated. All in all, I believe that we shouldn't give Joanne Rowling a platform and when we do we should make reference to the genuinely horrible things she's done.
I expect better from an award winning site such as Bedrock to not include hate figures in such a positive light.

My expirience with bedrock has been very poor, I'd give it zero stars if i could. This website is completely unhelpful and it is so boring that I nearly fell asleep one time. The videos are useless and when you put in your answer it takes ages to explain why your wrong or right and you can't skip the explanation which is really annoying. When I go on this I'll be on it for like an hour and it will only say 20 minutes. Also I have learnt absolutely nothing from this app. The blocks are extremely unacturate, considering I'm in year six with good grammar and spelling scores on Sat's and all its doing is asking me what a noun is and verbs and adjectives and that sort of thing. And it's like I want to yell at my computer: I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS IS! In conclusion, this website is not good for learning and it is sooooooooooo boring. So if a teacher is reading this I advise you not to give your students this as schoolwork or homework. Also, why is it named after a Minecraft block? Is bedrock trying to trick us into thinking that their website is like Minecraft, because if so, IT IS NOTHING LIKE MINECRAFT!

The recent improvements have really made a difference in user experience. As a parent, I can see my child fully engaged with the content and the teachers also seem very happy with their progress. There are lots of additional functions to enhance learning and the vocabulary examples are very well structured. The results speak for themselves so thank you Bedrock.

skidibio toulet reviews for learning with didde

It is so boring, you have to wait so long for them to read out the terrible examples, it doesn't make sense, and it is just not helpful. You could spend hours writing and doing everything it says and it would say you have only done like 20 minutes! I hate it so much. There is no point in doing it, you learn absolutely nothing. It is so annoying and I can't put into words how boring, useless, and unhelpful it is. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO SAY A SHORT SENTENCE?? it doesn't let you skip, even if you either know what it is, or you have already read it.

The timing is never accurate. I did roughly half an hour an it said I had done 13 minuates. It is alos very very specific on what answers to allow and even if you're right, it still says you are wrong.

If I could give zero stars I would. Why do schools force our kids to use this nonsense? The website is often glitchy and you end up having to watch the super slow and patronising videos more than once (with no option to speed up the sound to have them speak at a normal human pace). Often instructions are unclear and you end up having to repeat whole sections. No learning happening, just trying to tick the box so you don't get told off at school for not having done your homework. Useless tool used by lazy teachers.

dear bedrock
i dont know what the heck of a web you have created but just bin it. it isnt worth using.

Its the worst website. it is so autistic that it gets itself wrong and put people in wrong blocks. I hated doing this garbage and if I ever see this website again I might have to run away. I'm sorry if anyone has to do it. This piece of garbage is hell like and I would give a criminal to do this. Yes its that torturous. Whoever invented this, I will try to find you.

nah ts pmo yk what u pmo srsly i h8 ts website like sybau heh... DATTEBAYO!!!
alr imma go listen to mommy asmr

The worst learning app ever, and why did you name it minecraft block? bedrock is so annoying and it does not teach me anything.

Just delete it. I despise it. This is an OUTRAGE that that stupid, stupid nuisance website exists. The useless videos take too long. Wish I can skip that idiot video.
The questions are too annoying. I would rather die than do this garbage. There is nothing saving this useless nuisance from hate zone. And if you don't get enough questions right, they force you to retry - WTF!?

Please delete this trash and send it into obscurity.
This nerd website is awful. Do not use it, it will make. Your. Life. Harder.

Everything about the website is terrible, The narrator talks for so long and you can't skip it, The block I have been assigned is way too easy teaching basic words, meaning the initial test is inaccurate, and even if I anted to get to a higher block I can only do 2 lessons per day, out of the 96 lessons needed to complete the block. There are picture rounds which don't even make sense, as the answers are subjective and there are pictures that are wrong but also could be correct. Would give it 0 stars if I could. Why can't I skip the Narrator??? He is so slow??? I have learned nothing and there is nothing positive for me to talk about

My school uses Bedrock as English homework and while the higher blocks are educational, there is nothing to do when you've finished Block 12. It just moves you down to blocks you haven't completed and you learn nothing. It gets a few glitches and can be quite annoying. In conclusion, Bedrock can be good, it just isn't very good for students who do a lot of it
