	#A single man ~~can't~~ be a teacher since he might become secluded with the mothers of the children he is teaching whether he is teaching girls or boys. <ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 22:20. See Pitchei Teshuva 22:13 who writes that some questioned the minhag to have a single man as a teacher.</ref> The minhag is to allow even a single man to teach and there's what to rely upon since in the school there are married teachers and it isn't yichud.<ref>Malbushei Mordechai Yichud 22:3 p. 239-240, Otzar Haposkim 22:57:2 quoting Marya Dachya, Dvar Halacha, and Avnei Tzedek who defend the minhag of having single men being a teacher. Avnei Tzedek explains that the minhag is relying on the opinion that the prohibition is entirely about yichud and if yichud is solved it is permitted. Dvar Halacha explains that the prohibition is because of causing himself to be overly involved with women. Nonetheless, that today if he works in another profession he's going to be involved with women even more, it is permitted. </ref> A married man can be a teacher even if he is another city.<ref>Chelkat Mechokek 22:21 states that even for a married man if the man's husband is outside the city it is a problem of yichud in case the mothers of the children come. Bet Shmuel 22:22 agrees. However, Pitchei Teshuva 22:13 cites Rabbi Akiva Eiger who cites Lechem Rav 4 who is lenient if the male teacher is married even if his wife is in another city.</ref>		#The Mishna states that a single man may not be a teacher since he might become secluded with the mothers of the children he is teaching, whether he is teaching girls or boys.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 22:20.

	#A single man can't be a teacher since he might become secluded with the mothers of the children he is teaching whether he is teaching girls or boys.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 22:20. See Pitchei Teshuva 22:13 who writes that some questioned the minhag to have a single man as a teacher.</ref> A married man can be a teacher even if he is another city.<ref>Chelkat Mechokek 22:21 states that even for a married man if the man's husband is outside the city it is a problem of yichud in case the mothers of the children come. Bet Shmuel 22:22 agrees. However, Pitchei Teshuva 22:13 cites Rabbi Akiva Eiger who cites Lechem Rav 4 who is lenient if the male teacher is married even if his wife is in another city.</ref>		#A single man can't be a teacher since he might become secluded with the mothers of the children he is teaching whether he is teaching girls or boys.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 22:20.

Also, for children under 9 there's no concern that she will become motivated to sin. However, with boys older than 9 there is a concern and she shouldn't be hired unless there is a great extenuating circumstance. Tzitz Eliezer 14:97 agrees that a female shouldn't teach boys above 9.</ref>
