Did your school classrooms have a landline telephone for the teacher to use? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I learned today that some people attended schools where this was normal. The schools I went to only had phones in the office and the teachers lounge. What was your experience?

I was in school in the late 90's through the Bush years, two different public school systems in the Atlanta metro. All classrooms had a landline phone, the office would call in sometimes or we could call them. There was also a two way intercom and the office would spy on you or just become a voice in the sky
