Intelligence and genetics... whats your stand?

Question

Do smart parents have smart kids and dumb parents have dumb kids? I have seen many instances where the parents are smart and there kids become smart as well. Side note: i so hard to study and do well but for some reason i cant. I feel so worthless and dumb.

Answer 1

Good question and good answer. You should not feel worthless or dumb...Environment, circumstances and opportunities also come into play in the learning process.

One must feel motivated to achieve, if you find a subject you enjoy concentrate on that.

Not everyone is supposed to be a brain surgeon, if you are a maintenance man or mechanic, be the very best you can be.

The family unit will or should support you in your endeavors,not all musical people raise musicians.

Do the very best you can, and do not be discouraged....thank you

Answer 2

There is definitely a connection, but not genetically. If the child is brought up with smart people then maybe it'll turn out to be smart. Some of the decisions a parent makes will also influence the child, but you can't completely control it if the kid simply doesn't care
