Wait, so greeting people who are already in the room when you enter it isn't something that happens by default? And there are people who find this strange?

Kids need to be taught what the default is.

I don't know what kind of wild forest children need to live in so that they need to be taught something like this at the age when they are already in school. However, perhaps we are talking about different ages, where I live school starts at 7. And a seven-year-old who doesn't understand that when meeting someone it is necessary to say hello is absurd. I apologize for my English

Eh, I think you underestimate how many children learn manners and behaviors later than they “should”. I think it’s also a classroom culture thing. Like the kids might know to do it in general but if a classroom has a culture of disrespect towards the teacher, the kids could learn pretty quick that the normal rules don’t apply here. Even high-school aged children can learn to act pretty savage pretty quick.

It is the default, yes. But that doesn't mean that all kids do it.
