Not exactly political, but I thought all my friends here would enjoy this set of instructions, which I quote verbatim, from my son's high school roster form, which I had the pleasure of filling out tonight:
For families with one household, list each parent’s information separately in each of the top two squares. For divorced or separated families with joint custody please decide which household should be listed first in the roster. Put that parent in top left (with spouse in top right) and the other parent in lower left (with spouse in lower right). If both parents wish to be listed first the school will list in alphabetical order. For divorced or separated families, list in the top left square the parent with whom the child mainly resides. List the spouse of that parent in the top right square. Put the non-custodial parent in the lower left square and their spouse if any in the lower right.
