Alanis Morissette Educates James on Unschooling

[@ezequielpace9306]

After quarantine, WE NEED a Carpool with her.

[@robinwhitemore5409]

Yes! Great Idea.

[@ldalm]

OMG YES!

[@jzen1455]

And sing Alanis' revised version of "Ironic" together!

[@robbiepeterh]

That would be amazing.

[@elizabethmcleod246]

I’d love that!💫

[@noemibarkoczi]

So nice to hear someone having a real conversation on a talk show. Love this woman!

[@SoapandSecrets]

What an intelligent, in tune and wonderful human being she is! Always loved her music but I also love where her mind and heart are ❤️

[@coena9377]

I unschooled from the age of 12 onward. For me, it was a blessing. I’d hated school and hated academics while in school, but getting to explore at my own pace completely changed my perspective on academics, I ended up becoming a huge math and science nerd.

[@GrimbleBrad]

She has aged so gracefully! Pretty much identical from how she looked in the 90s.

[@veggigoddess]

Yes, except softer looking. She actually looks younger than in the 90's

[@carlycoppi4769]

So true she looks amazing!! She looks the same! Hasn’t aged at all!

[@ForeverThriveLife]

Beautiful at 46 years old. Always been a big fan. JLP was a game changer

[@wandajames143]

Yeah let’s all be shallow and talk about her looks! Wasn’t that what her music was against? Shallowness?

[@GrimbleBrad]

@@wandajames143 As one of my favorite female vocalists....I'm merely complimenting her, so shut the fuck up. I'll say what I want, when I want.

[@Hollins23]

She's such a quintessential Canadian female - humble, smart, kind, considerate, polite - yet also so unique... truly one-of-a-kind.

[@RFKjrForPres]

Damn and I didn't even know she was Canadian. I did know my other favorite Canadian singer Neil Young was though. The Guess Who were the best band to ever come out of Canada. "American Women. Get away from me. American woman, mamma set me free."

[@creditrepairwizards]

how can some one be both 'quintessential' meaning so typical your pic is in the dictionary next to the word and 'one of a kind " meaning atypical or NOT representative of any group or class or anything typical ?

[@Slaners100]

She is wonderful

[@Hollins23]

@Phil mr Mr You're ignorance is both appalling, and blinding!

[@Hollins23]

@@creditrepairwizards: Did you stop by just to show the world your bad manners, and cantankerous nature? It appears that you're so inadequately educated that trying to explain to you how someone, or something, can be both things at once, and yet uniquely their own would be of no good use without delving into lessons that would require more time than I'm willing to give to someone like who you've shown yourself to be. Something tells me that you're not open to learning, anyway. I suggest reviewing your primary school education, if you made it that far.....

[@chrismm25]

I love that she’s still a hippie ❤️

[@homeschoolmamaself-care]

Yay Alannis! Such a delight to hear you’re unschooling. We’re a child-directed learning family of four kids and twelve years.

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Jagged Little Pill will always be a classic but definitely excited to hear Alanis’ new album 🙌💯😎👍

[@sherrymorris8628]

I was 22 then. Her's & The Cranberries were my biggest female artist influences then & remain today.... along with a few others since then.

[@Hollins23]

I didn't like that part that she put in there about "going down on him in a theatre!" I didn't feel that it was necessary to include that.

[@teetakay]

Sherry Morris oh I agree! My favorites as well. Had tickets to see The Cranberries 3 months before she passed...one of my biggest concert sadnesses😥 Alanis was and still is phenomenal. So happy there’s a new album!!!

[@DesmitskesUnplugged]

I love the reactions underneath this video. Unschooling gets so many negative comments, but I can't find any here. I love this! Covid has really opened people's eyes to great alternatives

[@KingPolly]

If Alanis was my mom I’d be sane. But since she wasn’t, I was able to adapt and am who I am today. But god she has always helped me through every stage of my life with her music. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@MatthewLPU]

She is such a strong woman, and she tottaly gives that vibe off

[@jamiec2480]

She is so admirable. I have been following her journey for years and it is clear to me that she has done the “work” and looked internally for answers and healed. I could listen to her talk for hours because she is no BSer. She is so wise.

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

I miss her soooo much! What a beautiful woman and artist!

[@krystalrowan7934]

I could literally listen to Alanis talk all day!! Intelligent, humble, kind and empathetic, so much can be learned from Alanis ❤

[@emmalouge123]

Oh hey, I was unschooled!! Oh man, what a relief to hear someone talk about it intelligently and positively 😣

[@RamonIsWokeAF]

This woman is a masterpiece!

[@riscalhada]

25 years later and she is still my mentor. Through my 20's, the heartaches, the panic attacks and now guiding me through unschooling my children. This woman is my whole life. I love her SO MUCH.

[@lolamary2363]

I love this woman, she’s so brilliant, beautiful, and amazingly talented. It’s so wonderful seeing her as a happy wife and mother. Truly a humble, grateful human. God bless her💜🙏🏻

[@locutz]

She looks timeless ,just love her .

[@gingerzarecool]

Aww, I love the idea of unschooling. In remember getting shamed constantly in school by teachers for looking out the window and day dreaming. But really, I had picked up what they were talking about in the first 5 minutes and just wanted to make up a story in my head. Felt so stupid and borderline suicidal until college when I was suddenly getting 4.0 GPAs and begged by professors to take up research internships, etc, with them. I think school destroys a lot of gifted people.

[@darlinspaces]

Today, being gifted is considered an exceptionality, grouped with things like autism or a mental disability. That can make you wonder if systems just don't understand it well enough. I was gifted but did not find out until much later in life.

[@lindseysanders3656]

I wasn’t considered “ gifted” because I had a physical disability. Back then, those two things didn’t go together. Come to find out, as an adult, I was considered linguistically gifted and slightly ahead in most areas. I was recommended for kindergarten at age 4.5 years. My mother declined because she was overwhelmed by my health challenges.I started out in private school and also did a lot of self-teaching at home, spending most of the time outdoors. When you go to public school, you are required to do tons of work in so little time and it becomes about getting it done and passing grades than actually learning the material. Now, even though I don’t consider myself “dumb”, I can see how public school affected my life and didn’t quite shape my mind as it began. I had many positive experiences with public school, but if I’d had the choice, I’d want a combination of home and private learning.

[@carpdirector6836]

I’ve been essentially unschooling my teen boys since before the lockdown and would love to hear the two of you talk more about it!

[@thelucid3444]

unschooling is a brilliant approach to developing children's self-esteem

[@carpnotes4607]

Yes. Much like the Montessori model, children are given the opportunity to discover their strengths and true interests with unschooling.

[@thelucid3444]

@Corey Adams Music prove it

[@KatieKamala]

Yes because the current education system is corrupted

[@banjara101]

She has the same parenting and life approach that I do, love her....

[@KootFloris]

"Firstly education is about survival within the world and social context . The next level is that the education helps you to contribute to life and your social context. The next level is to help both flourish. To begin with, ask not in school: “what do you want to become?” It’s better to ask: “What problem do you want to solve?” And then help the students develop to become part of the solution they see. Including being able the change the wrongs they see, and we haven't addressed. Climate change and ecological and economical collapse, and corporate dictatorship are happening! Education therefore urgently needs to step away from simple professional preparation to fulfill a job within a company. Many jobs are like cancer cells helping a cancer to grow without restraint. Many of us feel hurt and pain, when we see huge trees chopped down, animals die, people executed, racist injustices, suffer disease or hunger. This pain is normal and healthy. We should not be trained to ignore or overcome it. We should be trained to allow the hurt, for we are truly hurt, and learn how act upon it. The protests against systemic racism show how hurt needs to be exposed before it can be addressed. Thus we need hurt to surface, instead of 'manning children up' which leads to many suicides even." Quoted from: medium.com/the-gentle-revolution/global-shift-in-education-fb7ac55453

[@Rhiannon011]

Yes, very well said...in other words STOP REPRESSING our Children's emotions and feelings and stop REPRESSING out own "adult" feelings and emotions..the more we repress and hold the pain and feelings in the worse it all gets. Words I remember from my childhood and Far right wing religious upbringing> My sister always saying> "Oh stop with you're touchy feely lovey dovey emotional "let's talk" it makes me sick you make me sick"!. My mother >Shut up you are NOT ALLOWED to speak with feelings and emotions, you do what God says and the bible says, the blood of Jesus was shed for you and all you can do is say is "I want to talk about emotions and feelings and I have questions"."you either stop talking this way or I will get the belt out again and whip you good, do you understand me"?? Thank God I survived and live my own life and don't live in such an emotionally toxic sick environment as an adult. Took a lot of therapy but I learned through the years, how I not only survived but I saved my soul and kept my integrity of who I was and am intact...though I was "punished" for it emotionally and psychically abused for it, I grew and evolved and made it through! My whole family STILL lives this toxic way and still voted for and supports trump. I never will never!

[@MM-nh8ez]

Lasse Givoni Denmark is way ahead of the U.S. in education!! I recently read an in-depth article about what kids from Finland in 5th grade are taught and it blew my mind. Many of these subjects we don’t learn until college. Finland’s education model is closer to what Alanis is talking about than how it is in the U.S. The U.S. is very enamored of mechanistic models... mechanistic everything.

[@69soulseeker]

25 years and she still looks amazing!

[@jorgesoler7753]

"functional rollercoaster" would be a killer album title

[@havocmarce]

Yes!

[@bazoukalification]

I would have never recognized her! She looks completely different. She is definitely luminous and packed with wisdom!🙏❤

[@darlinspaces]

Alanis is basically the most effervesent teacher I know. And she reminds me to keep eating plant based meals.

[@katiecanuck]

Thank you for interviewing this amazing Canadian musician!

[@sintytyson]

Alanis still looks good; isn't it ironic?😁

She is absolutely beautiful! Ive loved all of her music for years

I was 13, it was and continues to be a pivotal impact in my life.

My siblings and I used to jam to her songs from the Jagged Little Pill album in the car, on the way to school. I miss those days...

[@CarlyJWilding]

So good that she's here to remind you James

[@darinjames3313]

Shes got it together...Body-Mind-Spirit....and She puts it all in Her music I do believe....ALANIS

[@allen4659]

Awesome human being. She loves her family, animals, music, spiritual life, etc. Top of the line artist, person. Unlike the many bloviating, immature and juvenile acting celebrities. She is beautiful on so many vectors. So intelligent.

[@junkmail6206]

Love you Alanis, she is a wonderful person. It's about time she came out with a new album, the CDs I have are so worn from listening to them, I feel i should lock them away to protect them so my children can enjoy them in the future.

[@leaconnor3719]

She's my favourite female artist I love her. She's so beautiful aswell.

[@ཀལའུདིཨབྱམསཔ]

She s so beautiful!!! Big hug from Portugal

[@DJP-Love]

In tears of deep gratitude for Alanis’s soothing, grounded company along this wild ride. We have journeyed some similar flight/fight/freeze then study/open/heal pathways... I feel such joy to see her luminous self emerging from so many beautiful painful awful amazing layers peeled back. The album cover says it all 🤙🏽 Namaste 🙏🏼 gurl. Mahalo for showing up, shining your light, and sharing your passion & curiosity about life. I think you and Brené Brown could easily cultivate a “heal the heart/thrive your life” course/school/cult/religion... oh boy. Lol. Maybe run for office? Please? All my love ❤️💛💚💙💜

[@teresamartini10]

Love the unschooling concept!

[@MxSaganicMechanic]

@Seamar Ní Ghloinn i disagree, and i am also a teacher. the system is broken. every unschooled kid i know has turned into balanced, resilient and intelligent. you misunderstand the concept of unschooling.

Life got way better when I started unschooling during lock down

[@Hdills]

She’s so smart!

[@MrCalifornia1234]

Alanis always my favorite.

[@insights3140]

I feel you. I feel you, mama 🙏

[@PatrickAsti]

I did a bit of unschooling with my gifted daughter! At 22 she took a Covid break from college and now she manages a five star restaurant and trades futures on the NY stock exchange. To unschool is very cool!

[@no1nestandsalone387]

It sucks she can’t go on tour 😭 I was gonna see her

[@Humbledone.]

Awww she looks great! I loved jagged little pill as a teenager. Might listen to it again right now!

[@teefarox92]

I absolutely LOVE the concept of Unschooling. I am not yet a Parent, but I would absolutely Unschool my children when it comes to that. I have known about it for years and I think it is just a brilliant idea.

What a BEAUTIFUL human being!!! So cerebral and ALIVE!!! This latest generation will never know what it's like to grow up on 'Jagged Little Pill' or hear her verbose musings on 'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' but we can teach them...we can show them how music once used to be...and go the a direction it can be again...only reimagined and exuberant for this new generation to be totally blown away by. Juxtaposition...anachronism. We have to keep in mind there are no limits.

[@epo1980]

Alanis Morisette looks younger as she looked in 1997.

[@LackofAmbition]

I love her so so much, I've been a fan since i was 9! My mom always worried about me because my taste in music was always so adult, never got into Backstreet boys or none of that. It was all Alanis and Tori Amos and Fiona Apple for me lol

It seems that she is so underrated, cuz i dont know her till this month , i checked her songs amd they are soooooo great , she may not be , but her name is a lot unfamiliar to outside of the USA

[@molehog]

I do live for the idea that we can create a world for our children.... Sadly for most of us paying the bills requires us to send them to school just so we can go to work. I'm not bitter....just realistically ... Majority of humans can't live this way

[@craftjared]

There are schools and programs everywhere that encourage similar models.

[@craftjared]

You can also get involved in adopting some changes within your district. Funtasia Education is a great example that can be trained to teachers.

[@EPICPRINTS]

Been doing this with my son for 7 years now and he's very very smart. He may or may not go to college and that's okay. LOTS of work for people to be had in the tech industry. I understand not everyone can afford to do it and that's super sad, but there are a lot of schools, and day cares that will follow the unschooling life.
