$400/week? Damn, how is she living off of that? You should be ashamed, OP. What's her name? She can come work for me. I'll make sure she doesn't qualify for food stamps.

On a hundred percent scholarship.

Maybe they won't accept your child. Why did you apply?

You'd be amazed how resourceful a person who gets by on 400 a week can be. And certainly some people get full or nearly full rides. No, i don't think it's odd for her to apply at all. I think it's odd that you think that way, though.

Frankly, OP, I would bet anything that her child would add more to the diversity, interest and richness of the class than yours would.

Is that a problem? Then the nanny would probably want to get another job, which seems like a the best scenario here.

-a. 'like the best scenario.'

Are you paying minimum wage, OP, or less? You should be ashamed of your selfishness. Tell the poor nanny that if her kid gets in, you'll foot the bill.

I caution people that this is almost certainly a fake post, designed to provoke outrage/hysteria/bring out the worst in people. I reported the thread to the moderators.

Good for her!

And . . . again. It interests me that people want to comment on an ersatz post.

You might want to look up "ersatz" before you use it again.

OP here. Again, I'm not saying she should not apply for her child to go there. I just wondered how she would manage with all the extras that she may have to pay. I told her I wouldn't mind talking to the public school (great school btw) to allow her child to go there and she refused since she really wants private school for her kid. She works 4 hours a day for me and I pay her $400 a week. I also give her paid leave since we to away almost 2 months of the year. She gets all holidays, snow days off plus a Holiday and birthday bonus so I think I pay her fairly.

Why would the nanny want to get paid more and have to lose food stamps, free tuition and free healthcare?
