In my head, the idea is more to give a general idea of plants to identify safe to eat ones, to identify ingredients for poultices, and just to give general knowledge. Also, as a future Scholar, a good grounding in all areas is sensible. Every warrior probably knows how to make these poultices just in case - it's kind of like part of a first aid course.
Molpe is definitely prying a little, but given that growth of the tribe is essential, it's mostly because the next generation is really important. However, yep, it would be annoying!
