what do we call it?
|

I �ve got 2 quick questions this time.
1. What do we call an activity when students attend (audit) another school/ a course of study in order to find out whether they want to study at that school in the future. Such "audit/ inspection" takes up to 2 days and students who graduate from lower-secondary school take part in it - they "audit/ examine/ inspect" a secondary school of their choice. Is there a word for it in English?
2. as teachers we are bound to have inspections in breaks - that is we look after schoolkids in breaks/ step in when students quarrel/ fight etc. Is this activity called an inspection in English? Can I say: I am on inspection/ on duty now?
I am waiting impatiently for your answers :)

1) I �m not sure about this one! Here, kids transferring from primary to secondary (aged 11) get to visit the schools available, but it �s not compulsory. Usually, all that happens is that there is an �open day � or �open evening � when they, with their parents, can come and look at the school. Staff put on various activities - e.g. a science experiment or a French breakfast. 2) On duty. |

Thank you very much Cunliffe
as far as no.2 is concerned I have always used the phrase "on duty" but a co-teacher was convinced that "on duty" was incorrect and in the end I started to doubt myself |

We say:
1. Open Days
2. On duty (teacher on duty - talk to the teacher on duty - I �m on duty to today - who is the duty teacher today - who is on duty today)
Cheers

I �d say I �m supervising when I �m on duty not inspecting. Sophia |
