“Unschooling, for me, is child-led education,” she recently told Health.com. “So if there’s some agenda like, ‘Let’s play with these magnet tiles,’ and my daughter is like, ‘F–k those tiles. I want to put glitter on that thing and cut the tree and put the thing,’ boom — we do that.”

The “Ironic” singer, 45, says it’s a good way to see things from her kids’ perspectives.

“I basically get inside their eyeballs,” she said. “I’m constantly watching their eyes and what they’re pulled toward, and then we do the deep dive.”

She and husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway use their home as a creative place for learning opportunities and said there’s not really just one right way to practice the teaching technique.

“My husband and I create pods all over the house — here’s where the spelling area is, and here’s where the fake animals are,” she explained. “There’s probably a better definition of unschooling, but there’s no rigidity to it.”

Morissette furthered that because the process is so hands-on, “unschooling” may not be the right fit for all parents.

“If my son is going to bed late on tour and he asks me three really huge, existential questions, there’s no, ‘Ah, we’ll talk about it in the morning.’ That is the moment. Unschooling is 24/7,” she said. “When I share with people that I unschool, a lot of people I’m close with say they’d love to do it but just can’t. And I get it. I’m like, ‘Yes. I understand, and I think it’s a smart choice not to do it.’ It’s a major commitment.”

The ’90s icon and Treadway, 39, got married in 2010 and share 3 children together.

They welcomed son Ever Imre on Christmas 2010, daughter Onyx Solace in June 2016, and son Winter Mercy in August 2019.
