In Educational Disobedience, Dr. Annise Mabry, tells a powerful and deeply personal story of how one mother’s determination to change her children’s educational future ignited a movement that transformed lives. What began as a homeschooling experiment for her two children evolved into a foundation that provides hope and opportunity for countless students failed by the traditional system. Mabry’s journey is a testament to the extraordinary impact of persistence and innovation in the face of an entrenched status quo.

The catalyst for Mabry’s mission comes in the form of a sobering statistic: every twenty-six seconds, a student in the United States drops out of high school. Appalled yet galvanized, she channels her initial success in guiding her own children and neighborhood kids to graduation into something far greater. Through sheer resilience, Mabry creates programs to help others reclaim their education. Her efforts reveal the possibility of meaningful change, even when society insists the system is beyond repair. The book doesn’t shy away from the grim realities of a flawed educational system. Yet, it is far from bleak. Educational Disobedience shines a bright light on solutions, proving there are alternatives for those who feel abandoned by the traditional mold. Mabry’s story challenges the ingrained belief that failing schools are an inevitability. It shows that, with courage and creativity, barriers can be broken, and lives can be rebuilt. Her work underscores that hope should never be the first casualty of a broken system.

This inspiring narrative is a beacon for families searching for alternatives to conventional schooling. Mabry’s approach demonstrates that homeschooling is not reserved for stay-at-home parents or the privileged few. Her journey dismantles preconceived notions, offering practical, motivational guidance for anyone feeling disheartened by the system’s limitations.

Educational Disobedience is essential reading for parents, educators, and policymakers alike. It’s an empowering reminder that defying the status quo is not just possible—it’s necessary. Mabry’s story is a call to action and a roadmap for those seeking to create a brighter, more inclusive future for students everywhere.
