choice thanks to a growing industry in New York City: paying one dollar per day to have it looked after in a nearby truck.&nbsp;&nbsp; Students might not be happy about an expense that ultimately adds up to $180 per annum, but many teenagers have taken to dropping off their cell phones at the start of the day and then picking it up again after school as a matter of routine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes it\u2019s a hassle because not everyone can afford it,\u201d says Kelice Charles, who is a freshman at Manhattan\u2019s Gramercy Arts High School.&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cBut then again, it\u2019s a living.\u201d Cell phones and similar devices such as the likes of iPads and iPods are banned at all public schools in New York City, though the rule is largely ignored at all of them except for the 88 that have metal detectors.&nbsp;&nbsp; Otherwise, administrators are happy to tell students \u201cIf we can\u2019t see it, we don\u2019t know about it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The metal detectors are in schools where there is considered to be a risk of violence in order to spot weapons, but they also detect cell phones.&nbsp; On the other hand, the trucks that babysit the cell phones can have their own safety concerns, with one being held up in June in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy whole four years, I\u2019ve been putting my phone in this truck, and it\u2019s been great,\u201d says High School for Language and Diplomacy senior Melquan Thompson. &nbsp;\u201cOnly a dollar. &nbsp;It\u2019s not bad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of teens who are not
