Japanese habit/custom ~46~ Cyumoku rei 注目、礼(ちゅうもく、れい)

  I introduce how our cram school begins the each class.
The class is from 50 minutes to 70 minutes. (I guess 70 minutes
are hard for children.)
  Before the class starts, one of the students who is on day duty
need to say "Cyumoku  Rei"
  Cyumoku (ちゅうもく 注目)means "Look at the teacher".
  Rei (れい 礼)means "Bow".
  And students bow and teacher also bow.
  I think all cram school practices this manner in Japan.
But I think most of public schools practice this kind of manner in Japan.
 
  By the way, I taught the way of greeting of the other countries at the
English class for 10 years old.
  For example, American shake a hand, and Russian do hugging.
