With one out of every four students reporting being bullied during the school year, according to StopBullying.gov, online school has become an ideal option for some families. Such was the case for one Hesperia family. Hiers said that after many meetings with Joel’s teacher, the principal and school district officials, all that she was told was that “they’d investigate it.” “I told the school I started paperwork to get him in CAVA,” Hiers said, referring to Joel’s current online school, California Virtual Academies. “A child cannot learn anything if they’re worried about someone trying to hit them.” Joel began at CAVA this school year, and Hiers said that since then he’s become “a much happier kid.”
