Singular They, Them
#2
It depends...are we speaking strictly grammatically or copywriting/PC. I can't speak about grammar, but I would use generally use #3 for any other use than being grammatically correct without knowing the audience or the gender of the teacher.

Writing in "public" is so different than private conversation because you're speaking to so many people. My natural language is to use "guys and girls" when being casual and I don't think of "girls" as meaning "child" in this instance. But I don't use "girls" when writing because there are some that think it's demeaning and my usage isn't the same.
