New York city's controversial ban on cellphones in schools has persuaded some kids to leave their devices at home -- a stranger's home! The New York Post reports.

Dozens of students at the former Bushwick HS campus have been paying $1 per day to store their phones at an alumnus' apartment -- just down the street from the Brooklyn campus.

Academy of Urban Planning graduate Giovanni Monserrate -- known affectionately as either "Gio" or "The Mayor" -- has padded his income as a Broadway usher by serving as a cellphone-storage site for between 30 and 100 teens daily over the last seven years.
