Teachers' Lounge or Teacher's Lounge?

Hi,

I'm a little confused as to which one I should be using in the following sentence.

A) I walked into the the teachers' lounge.
Or
B) I walked into the the teacher's lounge.

Any advice would be welcomed.

No doubt both are in use on teachers' rooms' doors around the country, but I would choose A, since there are several teachers.

What do you think of this: mens room; teachers lounge; Mariners (baseball team) game - making them function as adjectives rather than as possessives?

Well, 'mens' wouldn't be the plural functioning as an adjective, would it? That would be 'men room'.

Hi,

If I were to say:
I pulled one of the pupils' chairs over.
Would you say that was correct? Or would pupil's be the right choice?

Thanks
