Apostrophes (i.e., ') are marks used to indicate ownership (e.g., teacher’s pedagogy) or intentional omission of a letter (e.g., didn’t) to make a contraction.
Apostrophe: A mark to show that something is owned or a letter is missing.

While it's not the only factor, the environment that a teacher creates can influence students behaviour.
