I disagree with “A student who wants to pass should do all of their homework.” They/them/their is slowly becoming a gender neutral replacement for he/him/his and she/her. I think it should still be correct despite the fact that “their” is usually used in its plural sense.
The use of the singular and neutral "they" or "their" has existed for centuries and is grammtically correct. Using "his or her" is too cumbersome for speaking and writing. I teach it to my students, then right away I tell them to just use "they".
How is this? -a phrase or clause between the subject and verb does not change the number of the antecedent.. Example: An array of trees on its ground. Array is the antecedent which is singular, of trees is the prepositionam phrase and its is the pronoun which is also singular.
But how to agree with the government, company and organization.. eg the government should launch their product/ his or her product, his product.. which pronoun should we write??
we got homework on this.... WHY WHYYYY DID YOU UPLOAD THIS HELPFUL VIDEO. AT LEAST YOU ARE IN SCHOOLS AND HOMEWORK YOU SHOULD FEEL PROUD. Opps Caps too lazy to rewrite

You are correct - they/their/them is now also 3rd person singular non-gender specific.
Has been for a long time!
