I was the same as you. I despised having to do busy work once I already knew the material. Aced all the tests, refused to do homework. Had a 2.8 graduating High School because of it. With this rule, I would have had at least a 3.5.

Not that I don’t acknowledge the usefulness of homework in the learning process. When I didn’t understand stuff in class I would do the homework, it was having to do the homework when I actually got it in class that irritated me. I was never interested in chasing points, I had books to read.

I squeaked by HS with a 2.2 GPA due to my hate for homework and English. However, I went on to graduate college with a 3.89 while working full time supporting my wife and daughter. Thankfully, most Engineering Professors counted homework for little or nothing toward your grade. Even the homework given was not repetitive. Some of the problems took an hour plus to work but they were not a waste of time.
