Quote

…the fact that students choose not to do schoolwork does not mean they lack motivation: No human being is unmotivated. In fact, every living creature is highly motivated all the time. Students are no exception to the choice theory axiom that all living creatures are always motivated by the basic needs of their species. But every living creature, including students, is not necessarily motivated to do what you, I, or anyone else thinks they ought to do. There is certainly no basic need to do schoolwork.
