Do you know the meaning of sparx? Exactly, this website is a child slavery system made to torture little kids like other people. One of my friends has autism and after spending 1 hour on his homework... See more

It forces you to complete the homework 100%, gives you videos with the WRONG explanation on how to do the questions and overall is just poor quality. Not rewarding either, no customisation of profile,... See more

SPARX IS LOVE SPARX IS LIFE

picture this: its 3am, and a robber broke into my house, trying to steal my phone, pen and my one singular piece of paper. then i noticed it was monday and my sparx homework was due. i told the robber, "please understand sir, i forgot to do my maths hw 😭😭 dont steal my phone, pen and paper, because then i cant do my sparx maths hw 😭😔🙏" he understood at once that i had to do my sparx maths homework and gave me back my phone, pen and paper. he even helped me with some questions. we then proceeded to become friends and now we are a married couple. if it wasnt for sparx maths, this would have never happened, and i am forever grateful to sparx for shaping my life like this. 🙏🙏 thank you for reading, ts took me ages to type 😭😭😭

The worst. Gave me a panic attack.

The worst. A panic attack. Seriously. I failed a buisness studies test because I had to do sparks instead of actually revising. I had a panic attack when I had 3 homework due and I didn't have time to do the other 2 due to sparks maths. I got several detentions. Isolation. This site doesn't deserve to be for education. This is what death row prisoners would fear having to do.

DELETE THE WEBSITE

Dear Sparx, I am a year 9 student who had had Sparx homework more times than I would like and it has made me feel immense pain and depression. It all started in year 7, I was a child who got forced to do this work, I thought it was normal. I thought wrong. You have 50 questions each time and when you get an answer wrong (you only have 1 attempt) you are unable to try again. You also have to get 100% to complete the homework which is a struggle since it forced perfection and punishes minor failures. Over 2.2 million children are forced to use this website and too many have had mental breakdowns, tears and even dark thoughts because of this website. Delete it for a better future.

I HATE SPARX

Sparx is such a dreadful curse to my mind. I would rather poke my eyes out with a compass than do section 1 on my sparx maths. Whats even worse is sparx science. A year ago, I was using seneca to do my science homework. I enjoyed it with lots of delight. But when my teacher announced that they wouldnt be using seneca and they would be switching to SPARX SCIENCE, I never imagined that it would make me want to tear my face off. I have so many sections that its not funny. If I could go back in time so I could prevent this god awful website from being created, Im sure that everyone would too.

Pile of rubbish

You might as well say goodbye to your evening while completing your homework on this "homework site". You spend ages doing it and the bookwork checks are a absolute pain and some question are impossible not even AI can get it right. The videos are about as helpful as air conditioning in the winter and the voices have about as much enthusiasm as a bin bag. To the founder of this pathetic website, just shut it down,

I was walking my pet chicken when…

I was walking my pet chicken when suddenly it escaped its harness and ran into the streets. Then it was hit by an 18-wheeler and I had to take it to the nearest hospital. Sadly this was on a Sunday, and my Sparx maths was due on Monday, so I had to do my Sparx maths. His name was hernandez, luckily I did my Sparx maths. What a joy. After my Sparx maths I quickly joined him.

ABSOLUTE TORTURE

ABSOLUTE TORTURE
they have the right to give you videos for help from people with irritating voices then change the question after you spent 10 minutes working it out they also have to guts to ask for a bookwork check it is mentally impossible in this day and age to finish sparx maths legitimately sparx science then has the right say your answer is wrong even though its right because the stupid AI bugs out NOT ONLY THIS as soon as you start getting better at answering question they increase the DIFFICULTY ANY STUDENTS LOOKING AT THIS IS TRUE they actually increase the difficulty its actually depressing this sight the bright white screen of doom and despair they should add a dark mode

worse homework platform

the videos don't really show the right information you need to complete the questions and you need 100% completion and you cannot get any lower or the homework will not be classed as "completed" i believe schools should stop using this platform and support physical homework

Thy website shalt unwind thy strings of doth humble mind

In fair Britannia, where our scene is laid, there stood a humble academy whose halls were filled with the murmurs of scholars young and old. Among these chambers of learning there lurked a most grievous torment, a bane whispered of in corridors and bewailed in the courtyard. This dread affliction bore the name Sparx Science, and its coming was as the shadow of a storm upon a summer’s morn.
Young Edmund, a sprightly lad of keen wit and brighter hope, strode into his lessons with the zeal of a knight newly sworn. “Today,” quoth he, “I shall conquer all challenges set before me.” Yet little knew he of the monstrous task that awaited.
For when Master Pembroke, a man of stern brow and ink‑stained fingers, did distribute the day’s labours, Edmund beheld upon his slate the sigil most feared: Sparx Science Assignment 47B. At once his heart did sink as though cast into the deepest moat.
“O cruel stars!” cried Edmund. “What sin have I committed that I must endure such torment? For Sparx Science is no gentle tutor, but a tyrant draped in numbers and riddles foul.”
He set himself to the task, yet each question twisted like a serpent. When he thought he had grasped the meaning, it slipped from his mind as water through a sieve. The diagrams mocked him with their crooked lines, and the explanations—aye, if such they could be called—spoke in tongues more tangled than a forest briar.
Soon his companions gathered round, each bearing the same haunted look.
“Good Edmund,” said fair Beatrice, “hast thou made sense of Question the Third? It asks of forces unseen, yet methinks the only force at work is the one that crushes my spirit.”
“Nay,” replied Edmund, “for I am undone by Question the First. It demands I calculate the velocity of a falling apple, yet gives no apple, nor tree, nor even the faintest whisper of gravity’s measure. ’Tis witchcraft, I say.”
Together they toiled, their quills scratching like the claws of desperate creatures. Hours passed as though time itself were reluctant to witness their suffering. The sun dipped low, casting long shadows that seemed to echo their despair.
At last, Edmund rose, his face pale but resolute. “Friends,” quoth he, “we must needs accept the truth: Sparx Science is a beast no mortal may tame. It devours our hours, our joy, our very will to learn. Yet though it batter our minds, it shall not break our fellowship.”
And so they closed their books, not in triumph, but in solidarity. For though Sparx Science reigned as a tyrant of confusion, the students found strength in shared misery, and laughter in the absurdity of their plight.
Thus ends the tale of Sparx Science, a scourge upon scholars, a labyrinth without exit, a tempest of tasks that leaves all who enter weary and bewildered. Yet even in such darkness, camaraderie shines brighter than any theorem.

COMPLETE PILE OF RUBBISH

complete pile of rubbish. stressful and they could at least make the people on the video have half normal voices. it makes you so reluctant to watch them. after three attempts at a question it changes which is a pain because you have to work out the answer all over again. DO NOT USE IT IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH putting it mildly.

Sparx maths,reader and every other…

Sparx maths,reader and every other element kills all of my passion weather it’s reading or maths sparx never fails to dissapoint its like the creator lives in a dystopian world where if you fail it’s normal to be punished with even harder to understand questions, and then I’ll get through it and still get detention (of which I don’t attend because it’s bs) because I finished it 1hr late even after staying up all night trying to get through it in a nutshell I truly think sparx is the reason a lot of kids like me have bad maths grades.
