Summary
Details

Before hebecame a famous stand-up comedian and podcast creator, Paul Bae taught English inVancouver's largest public school. One day during his student-teachingpracticum, he assigned weekend homework to an English class.

A student muttered, ""You suck.""

Mr. Bae turned on his heel, approached the student, and sternlyasked, ""What did you say?""

The student replied, ""Sorry. You suck, sir.""

Mr. Bae promptly returned to his desk, took out his teachingjournal, and wrote down the exchange. That would become the first entry ofhundreds of encounters with students.

Over twelve years of teaching English, Paul Bae-known simply as""Sir"" or ""Mr Bae""-kept several journals in which he recorded conversations hehad with his students. You Suck, Sir presents the best of thoseconversations. Ranging from outrageously funny to touchingly poignant, these vignettesare full of heart. Paul's stories are an irreverent, honest glimpse of teachingand learning and an inspiring peek into the connection one teacher has with hisstudents. Botheducators and anyone who has ever been a student will see themselves and theirdaily triumphs and struggles reflected here.

You Suck, Sir is the latest title to be published under the Robin's Egg Booksimprint. Robin's Egg Books features some of the freshest, smartest, and aboveall, funniest writing on a variety of culturally relevant subjects. Titles inthe imprint are curated and edited by comedian, playwright, and author CharlesDemers.
