I have something better... parents who encouraged me to read. That's what did it for me. I didn't have to rely on some teacher to get me into reading. Because back then, if I had to rely on teachers, I'd not be a reader today. Most of the teachers who taught could not keep me interested in the books they foisted on us. Back then, I saw no reason to meemorize dead English.

To Be of Not to Be that is the question. And the answer is not to be because we don't need this nonsense.
