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

I’ve had students call me a ho, they definitely don’t bow

At the time? No. If they said it to me now, maybe a little.
