When I was a kid, every year they said they couldn't pass you if you didn't do the homework, or that they wouldn't accept late homeworks, and every year I disregarded this because it wasn't true.
This year we got a note home saying Ana might not pass science because of missing homeworks. She sent in one or two more after that - and she still got all 3s in the subject (3 being "on target"). Pissed me off, actually. I don't think grades at that age should be based on effort instead of understanding, but they shouldn't lie and claim they are when they're not!
