1 Deutsche Zusammenfassung der div. diesbezüglichen Berichte: New York, ein Lieferwagen steht vor den Schulen damit die Schüler ihre in der Schule verbotenen Handys zur Aufbewahrung geben können für einen Dollar täglich zirka 180 Dollar pro Jahr Ein tägliche Routine für New Yorks Schüler. Morgens geben die Schüler ihr Handy im Lieferwagen vor ihrer Schule ab und am Ende des Schultags holen sie es wieder ab, das ist die Lösung für alle öffentliche Schulen in NY. Ein Lieferwagen dient als Aufbewahrungsstätte, für einen Dollar pro Tag. Handys und andere elektronische Geräte wie ipod und ipad sind in allen öffentlichen Schulen New Yorks verboten, aber nur 88 Schulen sind mit Metalldektoren ausgestattet. Lieferwagen als Aufbewahrungsstätte für Handys sind ein typisches New Yorker Phänomen. In anderen Städten gibt es dieses Service nicht, obwohl auch andere Städte die Handynutzung in den Schulen verbieten. Debora Carrera, Direktorin einer Schule in Philadephia, zu Associated Press: in ihrem Institut gibt es einen Raum in welchem die Schüler täglich ihre Handys abgeben. Der Raum wird versperrt und die Schüler müssen nichts bezahlen. A phone away from home: Some NYC students pay private valets a dollar a day (Tina Fineberg/ Associated Press ) - In this Sept. 27, 2012 photo, students from New York s Washington Irving educational complex line up to leave their cellphones and other electronic devices, for a dollar a day per item, in a privately operated truck parked near their school. Cellphones are banned in all New York City public schools, but the rule is widely ignored except in schools with metal detectors. Outside those schools, entrepreneurs park trucks where students drop off devices before class and get them back at the end of the day.

Students might resent an expense that adds up to as much as $180 a year, but even so, leaving a phone at one of the trucks in the morning and then picking it up at the end of the day has become as routine for city teenagers as getting dressed and riding the morning-rush subway. School phone bans are booming business for NYC s cell-storing trucks At $1 a day per phone, some budding entrepreneurs are raking in $$$ for cell phone storage.

Thousands of New York City kids who can t take their cellphones to school have another option, courtesy of a burgeoning industry. Teens pay a dollar a day to leave their precious devices in trucks parked nearby. It can add up to as much as $180 a year, but even so, leaving a phone at one of the trucks in the morning and then picking it up at the end of the day has become as routine for city teenagers as getting dressed and riding the subway. Sometimes it s a hassle because not everyone can afford it, said Kelice Charles, a freshman at Gramercy Arts High School in Manhattan. But then again, it s a living. Cell phones and other devices, such as ipods and ipads, are banned in all New York City public schools, but the rule is widely ignored except in the 88 buildings that have metal detectors.

4 Schools where violence is considered a risk have metal detectors in place to spot weapons, but they also spot phones. The trucks that collect the cell phones have their own safety issues. One was held up in the Bronx in June, and some 200 students lost their phones. A converted disability-access van that s parked a block away from the Washington Irving Educational Complex in the Union Square area on school days is painted bright blue and labeled Pure Loyalty Electronic Device Storage. Owner Vernon Alcoser, 40, operates trucks in three boroughs. Next, next, have the phone off, have the money out, a Pure Loyalty employee yelled as teens texted and listened to music until the last possible second. At the truck window, each student exchanged a phone and a dollar for a numbered yellow ticket. It s not that much of a hassle unless it s really crowded, said Gramercy Arts sophomore Chelsea Clouden. My whole four years I ve been putting my phone in this truck, and it s been great, said Melquan Thompson, a senior at the High School for Language and Diplomacy. Only a dollar. It s not bad. The cellphone trucks appear to be unique to New York City. That is hilarious, said Debora Carrera, a high school principal in Philadelphia who had never heard of a phone storage truck. Wow. It is very strange. New York, un furgone deposito per i cellulari vietati a scuola Una vera e propria routine per gli studenti della Grande Mela Affidare il telefonino la mattina e recuperarlo alla fine della giornata scolastica, è la soluzione al divieto in vigore in tutte le scuole pubbliche di New York. Un furgone, per un dollaro al giorno, farà da 'magazzino': impensabile lasciarlo a casa tutto il giorno

5 Telefoni cellulari (Ansa) New York, 5 ottobre Migliaia di giovani newyorkesi che hanno il divieto di portare il cellulare a scuola hanno una nuova opzione: depositare, per un dollaro al giorno, il proprio telefono in un furgone magazzino, custodito e parcheggiato vicino al proprio istituto scolastico. Affidare il cellulare la mattina e recuperarlo alla fine della giornata scolastica sta diventando - si legge sul Washington Post - una vera e propria routine e un crescente trend per gli studenti di New York, che sembra essere l unica città dotata di questo servizio. Molti teenager non considerano assolutamente la possibilità di lasciare il cellulare a casa tutto il giorno. Cellulare e altri dispositivi elettronici, come ipod e ipad, sono proibiti in tutte le scuole pubbliche di New York, ma la regola è largamente ignorata dagli istituti. Solo 88 scuole sono dotate di metal detector, necessari soprattutto per evitare la presenza di armi.
