Lol

Ok, so chaplains have been in schools now for a few years under the howard chaplaincy programe. A recent survey shows that 83% of principles are highly satisfied with the work that chaplains have done in their schools (Hughes & Cowan, 27, 2009). Another recent survey shows that 97% of principles...
