I agree. Some of the attitudes in this thread are concerning. My child is in G&T and finds school very easy, but she still has to do the light weekly homework, even though she could do it in her sleep. It's about teaching children how to cope with the minor inconvenience of temporary boredom. It also helps with her handwriting. I don't plan to raise a child who thinks she's too good for a worksheet. Geez it's not like they have to write a 10 page paper.[/quote]

+1 OP is flagging a bigger issue - kid is refusing to do a mere 10 mins of something the teacher & parent have asked them to do. That needs to be addressed. If some other parent is just anti-HW, that's not really relevant here.

OP I empathize bc my bright same-age kid is the same way. And I would not care if instead of HW they were doing other academic things like writing their own stuff, doing math puzzles etc. I do think habits are important and an aversion to spending a few mins thinking about what they learned during the day is a good thing.[/quote]
