Granted, I was in a private parochial school which was paid for by the family(meaning it is combined by my parents and grandparents, which is the same for all of us in the family), I tend to consider something like that similar.

In addition, some parents do give guardianship rights to other family members on their children.
I don't see a problem with that.
