Families who travel constantly might also opt for homeschooling as the only way to guarantee stability in their children's educations. Religious reasons could be a red flag for admissions at a secular school, but beneficial for a parochial one. So there are very good reasons for asking.

But yeah, anything that can tempt a school into an easy ADA violation is not a good thing.
