I wonder how many of these children in poverty show up to school with smart phones.

Virtually every kid I see in public school has a smart phone. For those schools who strictly enforce the no-cell-phone rule (that is, until March 2 when Mayor DeBlahBlah rescinds it, which will kill ANY tiny bit of education still going on in NYC classrooms), students pay $1/day to a local bodega or van which is nearby to store their phones until they can retrieve them at the end of the day. So that's a smartphone + $5/week right there. I don't see many students in rags, unless that's the intended look. Some teachers report seeing students in the same clothes every day, or students who smell from lack of bathing.

And the latest outrageously-priced shoes.
