respondents that few of the time for the said meeting would be used to
float the researchers questionnaires. However, there were nine teachers
who failed to return to return the instrument that is why instead of one
hundred three (103) there were ninety-four (94) returned. Some of the
teachers also were in seminars and so some were absent.
