My youngest son is much the same with homework. And he is very bright, he catches onto everthing in school with little effort. However he gets on teachers nerves with his lack of looking like he is paying attention, a lot of his teachers have been dismayed by the fact that when they ask him to repeat what they said he can easily.

Oh and I get where they are coming from, because I have been there with him too. This year he has a teacher that he has already had previously, she and I both agreed to trying to give him a little bit of advanced work for homework. I swear he is just bored, he is always saying he is bored there. He is also bored with the other kids, which is also a problem. But hopefully if he feels more challenged it will spark some interest.

Im sorry, I know it's frustrating. I hear you loud and clear.
