HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!! URGENT TRANSLATION NEEDED!!!!!!!!!
|

Hi to all dear teachers!!!! I urgently need your help! with so many things to do and so little time (does that sound familiar? ha ha ha!) my mind just went BLANK!!!!
Can anyone help me with the translation from Spanish to English, of the equivalent of "prefecto"??? this person is in charge of the discipline, here in schools in Mexico. I just can �t come up with a satisfactory translation. I �ve already googled it, but the translation doesn �t satisfy me at all.
Help, anyone????
Thanks!!!!!!!
Mar
P.S. By the way, to all Mexican teachers, is anyone attending Mextesol in a couple of weeks? this year it will be in Monterrey. Hope to see you there!!! |

Hi, Julieta. Thanks for your reply! I �ll keep crossing my fingers for someone to know the translation!!!
About Mextesol, I have no money either, but here �s a tip: I got the publisher, whose books we will use this year, to pay for the expenses!!! It was like a "plus" from them for us, for getting their materials in our school!!! Maybe you can still see if you can get help from them! |

Thank you Andreia, for your help. Mmmm, I �ve never heard of Mayor used in this case, but it �s an option! Thanks so much! |

I would have thought something more like Superintendent than Mayor. A Mayor is most commonly an elected official that is in charge of a town or city council.

Alien boy, thanks for your help. Superintendent sounds better! Any other suggestions anyone?!?!?! |

I �ve most commonly found �invigilator � is used for examination supervisors, at least in Australia, so it wouldn �t be suitable for an executive in charge of a bureaucratic division.
In England & Australia there used to be School Superintendents in charge of specific education department responsibilities. You will also find Superintendent used for specific members of the various police forces.
Cheers,
AB

Sorry dear...
I didn �t read your message properly before...
Now I read it again and then I could understand what you wanted.
Well... as you said that "el prefecto" is the person that is in charge of the discipline in schools there in Mexico.
In Brazil, the person that does this job is called "inspetor".. and the word for "inspetor" in English is "inspector"... so.. would it be the same for prefecto=inspector???
I hope so!!!
Kisses!!! |
