That recent discussion in the media about opening doors came about because a complaint was lodged and a staff member received a official warning for repeatedly opening a door! Apparently having the door opened by a male staff made a female staff member fell uncomfortable!
Not so long ago, well within our lifetime, not opening the door was a social disgrace!
Social mores, customs and norms will change from time to time and can't stay the same forever. There will invariably be teething issues when this happens.
I don't believe even for a second that any school kid would be in trouble for offering to give up their seat.
