Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

with a roll of

Matrícula (in this context) = enrollment/registration OR roll (as a noun)

So you might choose to say any of the following:

with x children enrolled
with x children registered
with an enrollment of x children
with a roll of x children
with x children on their rolls

Personally, I would go with 'with a roll of x children', just a personal preference but any of the above would be valid.

neutral TechLawDC : "enrolled", while evidently correct, essentially parrots the earlier answerer.

if you have a look at my full post, you'll see that it's far from "parroting" ... check out my addition at 28 mins
agree Marcelo González : No idea what TechLawDC means: your suggestion of "enrolled" came at 38 minutes (28 minutes after your original post at 10 minutes). On its roll sounds odd to me. "Enrolled" fits in much better with contemporary usage.
