Do they teach the possessive apostrophe S in school anymore?

Is it just me or does anyone else get extremely agitated when someone types a sentence without the 's behind a possessive noun/name?
For example: That phone over there belongs to LaTarsha baby daddy.
Another example: Steven daughter hit a homerun at the softball game.
INB4 : Dear Facebook blah blah blah

This type of talk has been going on for over 20 years so it's nothing new.

The attack on grammar in today's world goes much deeper than that.

What about the apostrophe when a person's name ends in "s"?

Are you asking the same group of people who have no problem saying "I'm so hype" instead of "I'm so hyped" a grammar question?

You didn't even put the s behind them in your examples.

Did they teach you that "not" is unneeded? As in "Do they teach the possesive apostrophe S in school anymore?
And maybe we should spell possessive correctly while we are at it.
