Honywood Community Science School dished out iPad2 tablets to its 1,200 pupils a year ago, at vast cost to the taxpayer. Despite warnings that children would not be able to look after the fragile computer tablet, the school in Coggeshall, Essex, allowed children to take the device outside the classroom, playground and street and home at evenings and weekends.
Expensive: Honywood Community Science School in Essex admitted that half the iPads given out last year have been broken But after just one year, more than four in ten of the iPads had been sent off for repair, after being knocked, dropped or scratched.
