I'm battling with my 7-year-old daughter to stop her using an apostrophe in plurals. She claims her school teachers don't write it but where else would she be picking it up from?

Misuse of apostrophes was almost non-existent a few years ago. Now hardly anyone seems to get it right. How did this happen?

eyepieces not eyepiece's
skies not sky's
etc
