Rhavon Cox-Bey doesn’t consider cyber-learning as home school. Rather, it’s school at home. Last year, the Davenport woman enrolled her children De-Andria, 18, Jhavon, 15, Anaiaha, 10, and niece Alesia, 17, in the newly launched Iowa Connections Academy, a tuition-free online public school for students K-12. Although the program is not for everybody, Cox-Bey said she likes the flexibility the school has to offer and has seen major improvements in her children’s academic progress and in their interest in learning. “It just gives us the freedom and also helps them stay on track with their homework and their assignments and what they’re needing help in,” she said.
