Nope. Bonding doesn't work that way. The other end of a bonded
link must be a single switch capable of link aggregation.

And unless you run at least 2 cat6 cables to each classroom
you wouldn't get any advantage from bonding since can't get
more that a single Gigabit's throughput to either classroom
anyway. You're better off supporting each classroom from it's
own NIC; each on its own subnet.
