My wife is an elementary school teacher and she lets her students choose whether they want to participate or not each day.

Most kids do it because they are following along with the rest, but some do actually sit out during the pledge

I've seen videos of kids just quietly sitting out the pledge and getting shoved out of their chair by other kids for it and the teacher just watches, can't say I blame anyone for just going along with it.
