Is it normal that i never do homework?

I constantly get told off for not doing my homework at school, and I my teachers think I don't make the effort. I am in top set for everything that is setted (we have a mix of setted and non-setted classes at my school) and some of my teachers have said I will be moving down to make way for people who 'can be bothered' with the work, even though I could have a lot more potential. HOWEVER-- I do try at school, I know why homework is important and I want to do well in the future. It doesn't matter whether I like the subject the homework is for or nor, I still won't do it. No jumping to conclusions about me not being bothered to make the effort/not liking the subjects or teachers. I get enough of that from my teachers and my 'friends' at school, thanks.

Sometimes I stay after school to do homework, though I never seem to do all of it. When I get my homework out, I just look at it for a while, thinking everything I write will be wrong (sometimes this happens for classwork, too, but not as often). A lot of the time I am just really stressed and I can never make myself even look at it because it makes me feel more stressed knowing it has to be in in 2/3 days time. Even if I don't do it I get more stressed because I get told off.

My form tutor says that most people follow a pattern - either they are 'good' or 'bad' - but I jump around too much so nobody really knows what to do with me. I am generally well behaved apart from the homework issue, however I have a lot of points (which you get for disrupting class/no homework etc.) even though I'm not the 'steal someone's pencil case and throw it across the room' type.

    I don't know if this is normal but my son is exactly the same. He is in detention at lunchtimes for not doing his homework but is an A student and top of the year in most school exams.

    I am very frustrated with him coz he just can't sit down and do the bloody thing, and get it out of the way.

    It may be like me doing the tax return. I sit and look at it but when I start it it's not as bad as I had thought.

    Just do it!!

    In my opinion the biggest homework influencers are parents. The deal for me is homework first, everything else later.

    i tried it once, when my teacher ask me to do the same homework everyday... the punishment is.. i need to stand up in front of the class for 3hrs... so from then on i do it even it is same as before. the result is i always get higher grades...
    so for me, it is normal not to do ur homework but someday u wil realize that u should do it, not because u r obliged to do so but its for u to improve and learn...
