[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our W cluster there are a few families that let their maids or nannies claim the employer's address to send their kids.  Everyone knows (they are easy to spot) between parents and the school more or less and during elementary it wasn't really an issue. During middle school the kids started to take notice and it got cruel form time to time. Which is kind of the point, I empathize with the parents wanting to send their kids to school with a more positive peer group but running the risk of the kids being called out for being frauds and being rejected by said peer group sort of negates the benefits.

It's not always just to get their kids into a better school.

I know one case where it was done for logistics. The nanny had to report to work to get the employer's kids ready for school and take them to school.  She also had to pick up the employer's children from school and watch them until dinner time. This meant she couldn't be home to send her own child to school or pick him up.  Also, based her wages, she couldn't afford childcare and none of the childcare available fit the hours she needed to be at the employer's plus travel back and forth.

The easiest solution for her situation was the enroll her child at the employer's home, and take all three kids to school and pick them up at the same time.  And her child stayed with her through her work day.[/quote]

This makes total sense to me.[/quote]
