is laziness inherited?

[libert19]

I would not say that laziness is inherited; children does not born already lazy. However they copy a lot of their parents behavior or copy life style of surroundings (however surrounding force them to be like others). If children really inherit characters of their parents fully, we would not be having so different people, and most of children future will be predetermined.

Indeed. With the inquisitive and ever ready nature of children to learn and adapt with the current situation of their immediate surroundings and environment, it remains the duty of parents to shape their children’s behavior and learning, while it’s also true that parents can’t teach their children everything as they may also go to school to learn certain behaviors too, if we start by teaching them some basic lessons, morals and principles of life, that’ll be enough to guard their learning outside, even when we are not currently their to monitor them.

You know I used to think the expensive schools were useless and kids can learn same on government schools but I realized later on that the surroundings for the kid are much better in expensive schools than in government ones, just because money lowers the lintel for who can come in and that flushes out lot of bad blood.

Sometimes laziness itself comes from our environment, how much our parents educate us to be responsible individuals and work is an obligation for someone to be able to meet daily needs, if we continue to follow our laziness there will be no progress, it is indeed very relaxing to be in a comfort zone but as humans, what is the point of living if we are just lazy?

That’s true. Lots of bad blood would definitely be flushed out but there’ll still be many to go around for those who are willing to receive them. Sometimes, the government schools are not totally filled with bad blood or influence and people would think. When I see the pupils who attend the government schools, rather than negative  influences, i see kids of poor parents who for some reasons can’t afford give their kids a much better education. And most of these kids, though may not have the best learning environment, but do have one of the best home training than most of those spoilt kids who are in the private schools.

Yes, the private schools expands the horizons of the kids and opens their young minds to diverse possibilities and ideas about the field of study and also general knowledge and I believe that’s the only advantage that the private schools have over the government schools.

Yes, not all will bad blood, there will be exceptions certainly but since barrier being low you would be seeing more students with poor upbringing, lack of hygiene, lack of morals — it's not their fault, they are result of their environment but now they'll be taking these influences and will be influencing others.

Understood. If you can't send your kid to a good private school, government schools are best option available. It's better to be educated with option that you can afford than not at all.

I was implying more than that. There is saying, "you are what you surround with" — quality private school will have children that have etiquettes, moral standards, hygiene— and whatever else qualities that one takes for granted when one is from a good background. And when your kid is put amongst these kids, he'll be influenced with these 'good' qualities instead of bad ones as in government schools.

That’s true and I agree with you on that. I also think that government schools are also different, like, those in most Urban areas may actually meet the criteria you’ve also listed compared to those within the rural areas right?

Still true!
But the truth is, parents can’t always rely on these schools to impact all the necessary morals and values on their kids, charity they say begins from the home, they’re mostly influenced by what they learn from home, particularly their parents and even if they’ll be influence in school, if there’s no foundation from home, it’ll be even more difficult to fit them to easily learn it.

Not to have that looking down into those parents who do let their kids go to public schools but there are indeed that significant differences in between into those who do go into private schools thant with those public schools. Yes, the learning is just the same but we do know that there are some or lets say that most of those some private schools does have that a little bit advanced when it comes to lesson plans. Same goes for having that good discipline since they do really that implement out rules on which should really be that followed and due to small numbers that with those on public,  then each children could easily monitored out. When it comes to value, you can be able to differentiate in between to those kids who do go into private than with those who are in public.

This is really concise statement. Students from the good private schools look well mannered, well spoken and confident to otherwise.

like the title says, do you believe that laziness is inherited? or at least that something we get from our parents? maybe it’s how we saw them growing up? or the principles and beliefs they instilled on us allowed us to grow too comfortable and therefore lazy? is it the result of the kind of environment you grew up on? where do people get their laziness from? and how can one overcome such thing?

    I had a friend (lets call him Daniel)who was brought up in a family of 8.6 siblings plus the mother and father. This family wasn’t financially stable at all.By at all, they all shared a self con.both parents werent well to do basically and i could remember the father as a drunk and the mum a house wife.
   Daniel’s siblings were all relaxed just like the parents and imagine the kind of imapct that clukd have om him also.But daniel was different, he was academically almost perfect, hardworking and positively enthusiastic. Although he was considered a black sheep within the family ironically , adaniel never relied on the background of his family as a factor that he should be relaxed.
  Fast forward to today, daniel controls a multi national banking firm that operates in carious countries. People who wouldn't know his story would say he came from a hardworking well to do family but this is the opposite.
  I think laziness is a thing of choice. As well as the environment around you might influence or nurture this attitude, it is still a thing of choice basically, you choose what you want as an individual either it benefits you or not.
   So, i think laziness shouldn’t be in place with inheritance.It us a thing of choice basically.The environment which includes family, friends and the rest of them just nurtures it. No one is to blame at all. We are free humans aren’t we?

That's a good story. I think some minds just intuitively know which traits to follow and which not to, so they refuse to be conditioned by some behaviours, even though they may be brought up in particular surroundings.

Once ability to becoming lazy is not inherited but is a function of how you decides to live your life this is so because you can decide if you want to be lazy or not any one that is lazy is so on purpose because they decide not to work but love comfort over hard work which is the pillar of success and progress in life,  there are people who don't like leaving their comfort zone so they can struggle and make earns meat but is always comfortable where they are and over time it becomes a problem to such people

This is where parents do really want to sent out their kids into those well known schools on which it doesnt matter if its a bit expensive compared to public schools but they do know that it could make their kids bit that much more better when it comes to behavior, mannerism and on the quality of education on which there's that significant difference. Somehow it wont be still that a guarantee  that kids success is already been set. We do know that there are those who dont have been able to go to private expensive schools do still manages out to achieve that pinnacle of success due to hardwork. We do know that things could be learnt up along the way and this is why its not that a guarantee if we do ask on this one.

this is quite a big generalization there are still bad kids even in private schools you just need to make sure that your kid is not easily influenced because even if you put him in a private school there is still a chance that he will be with those kids that are bad influence and might drag your kid into doing wrong things and just abandoning their studies

though private schools offer more comfort and ease when it comes to studying they might also have better quality education though it still depends on the kind of school
