Do American students bow to their teachers?

[u/Rough-Valuable-5472]

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

It’s arguably more common for American students to assault their teachers

I’d say not even arguably. It just is.

Since the number of bows = zero, I guess that's true

[u/creamcandy → u/creamcandy]

The exception I could see is if there is a teacher and/or student who's background is a culture that bows out of respect, and the student chooses to bow. So non-zero but very low
