I can't comment as to your schools system, but the big think about late penalties is they're usually largely avoidable by asking for an extension. In particular asking for the extension before the due date. The whole "due date" thing is partly about teaching people time management. I'd regularly ask for extensions with reasons along the lines of "I have to work a lot this month to make rent".
