When we stumble upon videos and pictures from the 1980s, many things seem different from now - the dressing sense, the lifestyle, and the gadgets people used at that time. However, after a video of students from 1987 went viral on Twitter, people on the internet have been questioning why everyone is looking so mature. It is captioned, "High school in 1987."

I'm a mom of five kids, ages 5 to 16, and for the first time since I became a parent 16 years ago, I will have all of my children in school this fall. That reality comes with a lot of different emotions, but it also comes with a lot of different needs too. Keeping up with a teenager's sports schedule on top of managing a 5-year-old's playdates and trying to keep the house from falling apart while running my own business means I need to start my organizational plan ASAP.

It is increasingly common for Australian children to live in a different house from one of their parents. About 28% of children under 14 have separated parents.

While most children are born into a two-parent family, the proportion of children living in a one-parent or step-family increases each year with a child’s age. 

This means information about children’s schooling often needs to go to more than one household. However, this information is not always communicated clearly or reliably between schools and parents, and between separated parents themselves.

What is it like for separated parents who share responsibility for their child’s education?
