Is it necessary to put "to" written  in the brackets?

Answer

Kinda thinking about it, it depends on what you want to say.

For example, if your list is things "We should not forget," since "to" is in front of the other ones it is necessary in the rest of the list.

However if your list is things "We should" do, then you don't need the to. I think :S not sure.

You probably want it.

Also, those are "parenthesis," not brackets. [ ] are brackets.

Answer

Are you sure that it's normal to say "to teach the reason ...", maybe it'd be better "to let them know the reason ..."? Or I'm wrong?

Answer

Yes, it is necessary. Because when you add "to" it is turning the word motivate, into an action. Same with the latter.
