Very angry judge, is this normal?

Note this comment is nothing to do with the OP's bankruptcy but rather the school.

I simply don't believe that a school insists that all year 8 pupils have to own a smartphone. Would love to see some evidence of that - does the school put that in writing or by a quiet word from the teacher?

If the OP doesn't care to respond I wonder if any teachers reading would.

Not a teacher, but my instinct is that the schools has some kind of homework app, for the issuing/receiving of homework. You get a lot these days that include notes and slideshows from class, instructions for work, deadlines, tests etc.

It's still absolutely not okay for a school to make the assumption all of its pupils have access to app-having hardware, but it is something that's becoming more common.
