In order to find comfort students must feel that they belong. Maslow’s pyramid of basic needs shows some issues that Student K deals with outside of the classroom that inevitably effect his in class behavior. Before student K can fully reach his true potential he has to be able to climb the different levels of the pyramid. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:

Student K Student E Student K: Depicts insecurity through sleep at home and family financial security. He shows improvement when asked to do his work and is rewarded with nice comments that give him a sense of belonging in the classroom. Student E: Shows trouble though operational conditioning. Student E is never fully punished for her actions so she only sees her “bad” behavior as a way to earn rewards from the teacher. She is given the opportunity to choose whether or not she should be in trouble on many occasions.
