I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so I used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. He said, What happened then, daddy? I said, If you learn to read, you can find out. I'm too tired to read. I'll read to you tomorrow. So, he had a need to want to learn how to read. Don't teach children how to read. Don't teach them mathematics. Give them a reason to want it. In school, they're working ass-backwards.
