Why We Homeschool, Issue # 2
4. Moments like this.
(and where else are you allowed to go to school dressed in a floral print shirt with striped pants and bare feet and have your classmates still adore you?)

5. Because he has the time to explore his many interests (the current being gardening), your curious 10 year old son can get things to grow way better than you ever could.
(and grows things you'd never think of growing)
Can you tell by the leaves what kind of plant this is? No? Scroll down.

Don't worry, I would never be able to identify it. Here's a root view (pun intended) with a bit of a hint (as if *having* a root view isn't any sort of hint). Can you tell now? If so, pat yourself on the back. If not, now see if you can figure it out. Scroll down.

Here's the whole plant. Now I'm sure you've guessed correctly.

A yam. A beautiful, glorious yam. Growing in my kitchen. Now what do we do with it?! I should just ask Alek... |
