Just a thing that's always really puzzled me. My teachers write it down as the 1920's, but teachers do make mistakes. Oh help me, I don't know!

1920's is correct the apostrophe gives 1920 ownership to the year.

No apostrophe. So the 1920s. Unless you're talking about something that belonged to the year 1920... such as the election in 1920 could be called "1920's election."

Technically, it should be the 1920s, without an apostrophe, because having an apostrophe in there shows possession. Technically, writing it as the 1920's would mean something belonging to 1920. I wouldn't correct the teacher if I were you, though...they hate that.

it is 1920s and not 1920's because the 's makes it possessive, as if something belonged to the 1920s.
