Which is right: 1940s -or- 1940's?

Context: This play is set in the 1940’s and is a fascinating account of how most of the characters in the play are extremely unsatisfied with their present circumstances.

I was doing a peer edit and said it should say "1940s" but my teacher disagreed. However, my teacher is wrong a lot and is corrected constantly by the class.

Update:

Thank you for the answer, and the website. I appreciate it!
