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?

Only in the teachers lounge.

So, if somehting happened in the classroom, teacher was alone... all alone. Long run to the main offices.

Then again, there were no cell phones or internet, so nothing ever happened and if it did they were able to keep it local.

Teachers were also different. You did not fuck with the teacher or he/she kicked your ass. This however changed during my elementary school days.
