It is most likely that the headmaster of some schools considers that time spent in prayer would be better spent in learning something. A school is a school not a church.

There used to be prayer in school, but then this whole "Politically Correct" thing came along and now you can't pray in school because you might offend someone else ofa different religion. plus the school could get sued for teaching children of a different religion about Christianity and prayer.
