| Parents racking up debt for school iPads |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| Some parents are being pushed into debt as a result of increased demands to shell out for digital devices for their children\'s schoolwork. As students prepare for the new school year, increasing numbers of them are being asked to bring their own electronic tablets and laptops to class. But stumping up for the devices, cases and software - on top of school fees, uniforms and stationery - is proving a budget buster for some families. Mangere Budgeting Services chief executive Darryl Evans said his office had been swamped since Christmas with people battling debt after buying iPads and personal computers for their children. |
