I'll help you. Here is what you typed:

There is no apostrophe in "old's" because it is neither posessive, nor is it
a contraction. It is a plural. Plurals don't have apostrophes.
The next word you typed is "cant". That means a lot of different things,
but what it doesn't mean is "can not". That word would be "can't".
I suppose he could have been complaining about the use of "C'mon", since it
isn't actually a word. I believe it is supposed to be a contraction of "Come
on", in which case it really should be "C'm'on". Apostrophes in contractions
replace dropped letters or groups of letters.
Because you asked,

PS: I could spell and punctuate by the time I was in fifth grade. Perhaps we
should be bashing your school system and not you.
