James' or James's?

My Yr 2 child has been learning about possessive apostrophes in class today. Her name ends with an 's'. Teacher has told her it should be James' but I think it should be James's. (Her name is not James, obviously.) I know both are correct, but is one 'more' correct? And if so, why?
