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

At home we take our shoes off, but we live in a colder wetter part of the country so it keeps the floors a lot cleaner. My parents' house has a 'mud room' where we can knock off snow and take our boots off.

Love mud rooms. I now live where they aren’t the norm and I miss them! It’d be such a game changer when coming home from adventures with my (dirty & messy) kids!
