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 went to a brand new middle school for one year, I was in the first 8th grade class to attend that school, it had a schmancy new VoIP system with a telephone mounted just inside the door of each room, and each could get a line to dial out.

    Every other K-12 school I went to had an older PA system, each room had a slanted front speaker box that could be used for one-way communication from the office to the entire building, or could be used two-way to a classroom. The classroom couldn’t call out, but the office could call in. There were phones in office spaces dotted around the campus typically.

    I also only remember one teacher prior to the 9th grade that owned a cell phone.
