Students are taught how to pull out weeds with their roots and how to shake off excess soil close to the ground (so it doesn't end up in eyes and mouths). They are also encouraged to distinguish between weeds and other plants but sometimes you have to be quick to intercept as a native grass can look just like any other grass to an enthusiastic kid!
