Re: "Eikaiwa on the ropes after fall of Geos" (Zeit Gist, May 4) by Richard Smart:

Thank you very much for printing the story regarding the Geos bankruptcy. As a former Geos teacher, I was glad to see that you told the other side of the story, as other media had made it appear that there weren't any problems because G.communication had taken over the company in advance. This is not true.

I chose not to sign the vague contract with the new company, for the same reasons as the teacher mentioned in the article, and because I was due to leave the company in a matter of weeks.
