For anyone who's unfamiliar, unschooling can sound like a pretty weird endeavor. But the overall idea is that unschooling lets kids take the lead when it comes to their education.

Rather than the school or teachers picking curriculum and other materials for the student, unschooling means the kids get to choose the direction for their education. To be fair, it does sound like it aligns pretty well with Alanis' 'hippie' vibe.

But why are fans unhappy about it?

Why Fans Don't Like Alanis Morissette's Unschooling Her Children

Sure, some fans have complaints about Alanis Morissette already. But there's one thing that they also want to nitpick about, and that's Alanis Morissette's unschooling her children.

Some people disagree with unschooling for specific reasons like the fact that it doesn't use a traditional curriculum, or because it seems like a lazy way to school. Admittedly, it is an unconventional way to educate children, by today's standards.

But, the unschooling philosophy isn't the problem that fans have. Their issue with Alanis Morissette's schooling her kids is basically that she's super-rich and super privileged.

What Fans Say About Alanis Morissette Unschooling Her Children

First off, it's worth noting that Alanis Morissette is worth about $45 million. So she's clearly not suffering from a lack of textbooks or art materials like many public schools do. And her wealth is fans' biggest issue with Alanis unschooling.

Commenting on an article about Alanis' opening up about her schooling strategy, fans had a lot of thoughts. One noted, "TIL unschooling means out of touch rich people letting their children do whatever... they want."

Other commenters agreed, and that's their primary issue with Alanis. She seems out of touch when it comes to other parents struggling with public school, remote learning, or homeschooling while working full time (or more) and still trying to put food on the table.

Another Redditor called Morissette's methods "highly [expletive] impractical," elaborating that Alanis is a "super rich lady" that "has the time and resources to educate her children personally 24/7 on whatever subject the child can think of."

While they aren't discounting unschooling as a potentially solid method of teaching, many critics agree that it's unrealistic for most average parents (who aren't internationally famous millionaires).

In fact, one commenter outright called Alanis' scenario "Hippie dippie millionaire parenting." Overall, it comes down to wealth + free time = easier homeschooling than average people.

But some couldn't resist ribbing Alanis (and her teaching abilities) by recalling the time she said hello to the wrong South American country while performing there. Another critic trolled Alanis by posing the question of which of her 'Isn't It Ironic' lines was actually ironic (hint: none of them). Maybe she won't be an ideal English teacher, but here's hoping!
