Why don't kids say Goodmorning? Where are manners? : Teachers | "How dare literal children not want to say good morning to me!"

I am a 22yr old black male teacher in kindergarten at a Title 1 African American school in Baltimore and for the most part, my class has learned to say Goodmorning. We are still working on saying please and thank you lol. This morning, students from second grade and first were coming down the hall. I said Goodmorning! They just kept walking. I asked, "Did you hear someone say Goodmorning to you? You can't say it back?" They said, no.
Whats up with these kids? How's your class with manners? Or is it just me? My mom taught me to use manners. Idk
btw, I'll respond later! Im teaching lol!!

When I was a principal, we greeted our students at the door and taught them the polite way to greet someone whether meeting at the door or in passing through the hallway. This was an excellent way to get a "temperature check" on how the kids were doing. I made notes on who to circle back around to later.
Children, especially in Title 1 schools, do not always come with the soft skills that seem to be woven into the fabric of more affluent families' lives. How to shake hands, looking someone in the eyes, greeting someone in passing with a smile and hello… Let's be clear though, these "soft skills" are rooted and centered in a culture of white middle class norms. My students were and are growing up in streets where it's best to mind your business and do not make eye contact.
We had to actively CULTIVATE school as a safe space where we behave differently than you might at home. It takes time, teaching, and intentional practice. I thought it was valuable for them to experience these sort of unspoken norms so that they can move comfortably in different spaces.
Obligatory note that this is all painting with a broad brush, just something to think about.
