This isn't really advice, because ymmv, but young me just ignored homework (with minor exceptions).
I started programming at age 12, and that was more interesting. School was mostly boring so I didn't feel the need to extend it at home.
Looking back I recognise I was fortunate. My teachers didn't seem to over-mind (perhaps because I was well behaved and engaged in class, and did ok in tests). My parents didn't seem to mind as long as my teachers didn't complain too much.
I also now recognise that I went to a school with progressive values, good teachers, and a focus on flexibility (to a point).
I used to joke afterwards that I had a "unspoken agreement" with my teachers. They could hand out as much homework as they liked, and I would quietly ignore it all.
