Martha, a first grade teacher, is concerned about her student, marvin. she knows that 6-year-old marvin has the potential to learn, but he always comes to school hungry and without a coat, even in the coldest months. according to maslow, why is marvin in danger of failing?

Because if his basic needs are not fulfilled he can't focus on learning and he does not have the motivation to do so.

Explanation:

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs states that in order for an individual to succeed, he/she has to have their needs satisfied.

This is best represented by his Pyramid of Needs; in order for an individual to pass to the next stage, he/she has to have the basic needs fulfilled.

In this case, since the child comes to school hungry and without a coat, it can be deduced that his physiological needs (water, food, clothing) are not met, thus he cannot go on to the next stages in order to pass the grade.
