Although schools across the city have banned cell phone use on campus, many children still took their phones to school secretly and were caught in surprise checks. School sources said more than one smartphone was sometimes taken from a student. "Like a driver's license, there should be a license to use a smartphone and restrictions should be placed on children under a certain age who do not use these gadgets.
