Prorated Fees
What is the best way to translate the word "prorate"? This translation is for parents with a 1-5 grade education, and I want to make it as easy to understand as possible.

The word is used in the following context:
Tuition will not be prorated at any time throughout the school year.


My attempt is:

Las cuotas no se prorratearán en cualquier momento durante el año escolar.


Your input would be greatly appreciated

@lblanco: Your sentence was mostly correct:

Quote:

Para mí debiera ser:

La tuición no se prorrateará en ningún momento durante el año escolar.

Fee= cuota

Tuition = tuición

Correcto. Se me chispteó.

La tuición de los niños generalmente la tienen los padres...

¿Patria potestad?

Parece mentira que hablemos el mismo idioma.

@Hernán: pero lblanco trabaja en una escuela, así que es más probable que se refiera a los costos de la colegiatura, o sea, las cuotas, y no a la custodia sobre los hijos, ¿no?

De cualquier manera, ¿cómo prorrateas los derechos de los padres sobre los hijos a lo largo de un año escolar?

Lo que use para la traducción fue "Las cuotas no se prorratearán enningún momento durante el año escolar." Cuando hice una búsqueda de la palabra tuición el resultado fue protección y cuidado. Definitivamente diferente a la mensualidad que deben pagar los padres por la colegiatura.

Gracias

Correcto, es uno de esos coñados de los falsos....

Lo que me pareció raro es que sea cuota para la matrícula.

Is tuition paid in monthly installments?
