Suiting up for a day of school? You’ll need your backpack, your lunch, your books—but not your cell phone. That’s against the law. At least, it is in New York City.

Kids in the Big Apple know they can’t carry their cellphones into school with them. Instead many pay a buck a day to stash their phones in vans nearby.

The bright blue Pure Loyalty Electronic Device Storage vans are part of a new business in New York. Van drivers safeguard kids’ electronics while they’re hitting the books.

But the city is getting tired of the ban. Kids don’t want to pay—or to wait in line before and after school just to reclaim their phones. Besides, parents want to be able to contact their kids during the day.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has promised to bring the phone ban to an end. That’s great for everyone—except the folks collecting that dollar a day.

What do you think? Are phones in school worth all the fuss?
