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.
