tests input speed not math skills - junk - do not buy

The race the teacher is a test of input speed and proficiency with a keypad more than knowledge of correct answers, with simple math drill questions, nothing very challenging. The keypad layout is upside down from standard convention, and sometimes doesnt recognize presses, contributing to accidental wrong answers which are penalized with a total reset of the score on the session.

It puts up repetitive math speed tests as a gate to (maybe) more interesting work. It has an animated goofball pictured on the screen offering meaningless platitudes. If you accidentally press the wrong number, or didnt push the right keys fast enough, the counter of correct answers resets to zero, invalidating all of your previous work.

Waste of time. This supplemental math program is very stressful and not teaching my kid anything at all right now. This is bad software. Maybe it gets better past the first stress gate, but i wouldnt bet on it.
