Businesses make $4.2M off students by storing their cellphones during school hours - NYPOST.com

   Here's an industry that didn't exist when I was in school...Due to a ban on student cell phones in schools, mobile vans are set up outside the school that charge students to store their phone while in school.
    Critics say its unfair to the poorest students....Well, no it isn't...You can always leave the phone at home even though I know its viewed as an appendage these days...And by the way, if you are affluent enough to have a phone, you have already decided what your priorities are.

     Cell phones are an extraordinary distraction in schools and the work place.
     The message NYC schools are sending is a good one that will benefit students in the work place later on.
