quench their thirst before satisfying their hunger. This discovery
started him on the theory which we now call the Needs Theory.

For example, the students that arrive without a lunch will likely
be hungry, which will inhibit their ability to learn.
Students who face other problems at school, such as bullies, or
ostracism, will be unable to focus on schoolwork.
The student who has done poorly in the past, and has been told
(perhaps by teachers, parents, siblings or classmates) that
they are unable to do well, will begin to
believe it inherently. It is necessary that the teacher
be gentle and help them overcome the fear of failure.
