Flirty GROs offer linguistic services

GUEST relations officers (GROs) in Johor Baru are now offering two-in-one services — they not only provide sex but also English lessons, reported Kosmo!
In a bid to remain competitive, the GROs are playing the extra role of English tutors to help clients brush up their skills in the language.
A source said the GROs realised that most of their clients were not fluent in the language and decided to add the extra service to help their clients communicate better in English.
According to the source, the extra service does not have a fixed price and payment was at the discretion of the client.
“After falling for the flirtatious ways of the GROs and the extra English lessons, the client usually comes back to the entertainment centre to seek their services,” he said.

Hookers give English lessons to supplement their income. Wow...these ladies are playing a dual role as a tutor as well as providing xxx services to their clients. In no time, trained English teachers like us with proper qualifications and certificates would be competing with them. Our "Rice bowl" seems to "shaken a lil bit" with the existence of these GROs.

We English not only teach English to our students but also conduct English tutorials to our fellow colleagues aka Science and Mathematics teachers. As both Science/Maths were being taught in English (PPSMI), these teachers need to improve their proficiency in that language.

In my school, English teachers stayed back every Wednesday for an hour to provide free English lessons to our colleagues. These classes were conducted under the directive of the Ministry. Time sacrificed but no one appreciate our effort. Many a times, our colleagues frowned as if they were 'forced and dragged' to attend such classes. These classes had been on-going since the implementation of Science/Maths in English way back in 2003.

Six years and yet a handful of Sn & Maths teachers since unable to grasp simple structures of English. Its difficult to teach an old dogs new tricks. They just refuse to change....

Sigh...
