    About this ebook

    In “Educational Disobedience,” educationist, Dr. Annise Mabry, offers a compelling, unique and refreshing insight into how she helps her children overcome the limitations of what she terms “a broken education system,” in the State of Georgia. Her decision to homeschool them were borne largely due to the fact that they were not receiving the best of education, and more because protection from the unending problem of bullying in public schools was lacking. She soon realized that only a crucial intervention could save her family from falling apart, and it was a decision that proved timely because not only did she achieve her objectives, but she also ended up saving her community! She has helped many parents to transform their children from struggling students to homeschool high school graduates!
    This isn't the guide for how to homescool--it's the story of survival because of homeschool.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I have to start by thanking my awesome partner in all things amazing, Benny Ingram. From reading early drafts to giving me advice on the cover to supporting me through the editing process, she was as important to this book getting done as I was. Thank you to my structural editor Cheristi Nieveen and my developmental editor Meghan Stoll. Meghan, you were so much more than a developmental editor and copy editor. You gave me the encouragement that I needed to find my writing voice when my voice was only a whisper and to write my truth when others tried to dictate my story. Thank you to the Fiverr community who provided me with the professional talent that I needed to get from concept to delivery. Thank you to my brother from another mother Scott Spence and your split second decision to help me save a dog that forever changed our lives.  To Beth Grantham, for without you, there wouldn’t have been a Tiers Free story and to her mom Crystal Spence, thank you for believing in me when all I had was an idea. Thank you to all of the parents and students of Tiers Free Academy who trusted me when I said we were going to rewrite the graduation story for our community; and, to my Program Coordinator, Ronda Leeper who stood with me as we did. You were right Ronda, we’ve got this.  Thank you to my children Emmett and  Niles. You both forced me to not only think outside of the box but to explode the box.  Thank you to my mom, Annie Ruth Barber who finally spoke those four words that I waited 44 years to hear—I’m proud of you. Thanks mom for always making sure that I had a clean place to write at the dining room table. And finally, thank you to my sister Pat and my brother Skip—I didn’t need to believe in cartoon superheroes because I had my own real life superheroes.

      CHAPTER one

      The Accidental Educator

      It was 1998 and I found myself trying to navigate through a lot of newness. I was a new law enforcement wife and a new mom, and I was entering my third new career in four years. I had been a disability case manager and a police officer, but neither of those careers fit me anymore. In the hope that I would find some career stability, everyone in my life pushed me to enter the new Teacher Alternative Program (TAP), though I never planned on or dreamed of becoming a teacher. Thus,  I often joke that I was an accidental educator. Looking back, I now realize I was off-balance back then because my heart and my reality weren’t aligned.

      I left law enforcement after only three years. But the reality is that when you are a law enforcement officer, you can leave the profession, but you will never leave the training. It becomes engrained in your DNA. Thus, I entered the classroom in 1999 thinking not like an educator, but like a law enforcement officer.

      I was always that teacher who wanted the doors locked when other teachers would prop them open for easier access during recess time.

      My colleagues often laughed at me and called me paranoid. They used to tell me, We teach elementary school. There are no elementary school shootings. Those were high school students. Stop being paranoid.

      But it was deeper than paranoia. I think I somehow sensed that what happened in Columbine in April 1999 was about the transform the educational landscape as I knew it.

      I can’t explain it, but I felt a sense of urgency to create a community in my classroom. I pushed myself to teach beyond the lesson plans and to let my students experience how it felt to learn in an educational safe space. I taught them that no matter what, you looked out for each other. Inside that classroom we were one single unit, not twenty-four individual students.

      Bullying wasn’t new, but post-Columbine, it was getting a lot more attention and there was a growing push for educators to identify its potential victims. My class, however, was the only one in that school who worked and traveled in teams of two.

      My students never went home and said, I was bullied today
