Why should it be a requirement to shake someone's hand before and after class?

I think it should be required that they lick the bottom of the teacher's shoe.

It seems to be a local tradition. Again, if they don't like it, LEAVE.
Right! It's like when people don't want to say the American Pledge of Allegiance, or want to leave out the 'under God' part. If they don't like it, LEAVE!

Well..I think there's a small difference there because nobody can be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance, nor can they be forced to say any specific part of it.

WTF does shaking hands has anything to do with education? If it's a local formality, then it is still just a formality and not a requirement. Enforcing such silliness is absurd
