I am planning on going to Japan next weekend and am going to use one of my sick days on the monday.

When the travel agency takes your alien registration number and everything does that get sent to the school.

I was about to book the ticket and then I started to freak out because I thought they would be alerted.
I don't want them to know I was in Japan obviously.

Anyone know this?

Thanks.

Travel agents dont require your alien registration number.

PS or hagwon? Public schools are potentially in cahoots with immigration who of course know about your comings & goings. Flu scare & bogus sick days wouldnt play well.

its hagwon. she said she need a piece of id and it would be the best.

So chances are they wouldnt contact them.

I wouldnt see why. But I was worryed.

No travel agent has ever had my alien reg. number. They do, however, require a passport number in order to book an international flight. Offer a 'gift' in exchange for silence (and hope your school hasn't offered more).

I'll refrain from further comments re: morals.

so they will definitely alert my school?

NO!!!

I just bought the ticket.

I'm screwed.

Jeeze learn to spell.

Overall I think you will be fine. But this is hagwon you are dealing with. Hagwons are never prepared for a sick day. How are you getting the sick day. Are you going to call from Japan. You could go on the trip, but your school will call you, possibly knock on your door, and maybe expect a doctors note. Lets say also the school did not do any of those I would still expect to have your sick day filed for future reference "AS REASONS TO FIRE AT THE ELEVENTH MONTH".

Go on the trip but I would still be a bit prepared for the brown pudding to hit the fan.
