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.

Yeah, I'm in highschool so it can't be all of Canada. It does make sense though, I think. Grades should be based on the knowledge someone has, rather than their effort to turn things in on time. Of course I think students should hand their work in on time because they will need to be responsible in the real world, but learning to live in the real world is not the purpose of school.
