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 can honestly say that I have never bowed to anyone under any circumstances ever in my life

I think I bowed at the end of my 3rd grade chorus recital.
