When I was a kid in school, you had to go to the office to use the phone.

Same, and I feel like that should be the only phone available. Us older millennials didn’t have phones, these kids don’t need them either during school. Now I’m not against them used at lunch time or breaks, that’s there time

My school at least still had a payphone near the cafeteria we only got rid of in 2011.
