Singular 'they' is normal when gender is anbiguous: 'Every child sits at their own desk' is perfectly good English. I don't think the teacher was PC driven, rather he found himself embarked on a construction that would require 'he or she' to complete; and trusted listeners to retrospectively make 'children' the subject of the sentence. Sometimes, it's just grammar.

Arghhh. Thanks for putting this up. I caught about half of it on the TV when I'd just come back from the pub - a very long time ago. *****.
That's always the way, the interesting stuff happens when you're not there
Top shelf critique!
First time I saw Meades on TV in the 90s I thought he was Andrew Rawnsley's interesting, cooler older brother.

Hundertwasser had the same ethos about your living environment...being organic in shape and flow...
