Thank you

It depends on what you're trying to say.
"That's just an old teacher's habit" implies that the teacher is old and has a habit.
"That's just an teacher's old habit" implies the teacher has an old habit.
"That's just an old teachers' habit" implies a trick or skill that all teachers know and use
"That's just an old teacher habit" implies a trick or skill that all teachers know and use or that the teacher is old and has a habit.
I wouldn't use the last sentence though. People may misunderstand you.

E ae Gabriel,
A maneira correta de se dizer é :
"teacher's old habit..."
se utilizar a outra maneira estará simplesmente dizendo que o professor é velho...
Sempre que usamos " 's " pensa que está dando posse de algo a alguém...
Por exemplo : "Andy's Car..." faz referência ao carro do Andy... Consegue compreender?
