Since when? I live in Canada and my school still penalizes people for handing in homework late.

If it's a university or college, it's still penalized, if it's highschool, no. Here are some links:

I think I may have been wrong in suggesting all of Canada complies, I think Ontario does and other provinces and territories may also.
Although this is anacdotal, my cousin is in grade 11 in Ontario and can hand in assignments 2 weeks late, and get no penalties.
