I don't know what to think about this story. New York has come up with a way to make money off of kids and cell phones. Since kids are not allowed to carry cell phones into school, trucks or "Valets" as they are called, park just off the school grounds and collect money for the cell phones to hold them during the day.
I remember when I was a kid, my house had one phone. It was mounted to the wall in the kitchen. Rotary dial, with an actual "hook" where the handset rested when not in use. Mom, dad, and seven kids shared this single, immobile phone. No call-waiting, no caller I.D., no answering machine, and no privacy.
