Playing devil's advocate here: maybe they were trying to be inclusive by not specifiying gender but haven't heard of they. The US education system is a joke in a lot of places so the (hypothetical) teacher may have to think twice before suggesting they change the it's to their. But hey, at least the apostrophe is where it should be and I'd take that as a win for education.

But there shouldn't be an apostrophe there... it's = it is, its = posessive.

The neat part about the internet being that do this on purpose to generate comments.

The other neat part is people are lazy and some suck at English or barely speak it lol.
