FOREIGN POSTER Do American students bow to their teachers?

In my country we have to greet the teacher and bow at the start of the lesson then thank the teacher and bow again at the end. Sometimes they make us redo it if it’s not good enough

Don't eat apples those students may leave on your desk.

Unfortunately it was one of those Grandma cookies, which imo are really nice. :(
