coach raper should not leave because he really connects with the kids, and he gets along wellwith the students and teachers at our school. Coach Raper has been at our school for 3 years and since then he has connected so well with the students here and we hate for him to go. personally the entire student body 6-8th grade do not agree on the choices made on the decision of the situation.Mr. Alexander our current principle has many years under his belt as we know as being a gym teacher and now principle but with thechanges and bringing in the newprinciple Mr. Edwards and making Mr. Alexander go back to the gym coach and kicking coach raper out is not a very smart move in our opinion. Mr. Alexander has many years as I've said and since he hasa lot of years he has to retire sooner or later. Ifcoach raper were to be coach he would have many years to teach and wouldn't cause you the trouble of finding a new gym coach in the next few years if coach raper were to be coach you wouldn't have to worry about finding a new coach for the next 8-10 years if he stays with the job at Lacey. In conclusion both coach Raper and Mr. edwards would connect really good with the students and the teachers because the students love Coach raper and really connect with him and Mr. Edwards has a chance to connect with the students more than he already has within the last few weeks.
