My son's treat it that way. They have mathematically determined that even if they don't do homework they can still get a very good grade.
Although I have mixed feelings about homework. The school day is much longer now than it was when I was a kid. Also, my kids all go to magnet schools which means they spend about 1hour on two buses to get to school and the same coming home. So, they are up at 5AM for the buss and get home about 4:30. From there dinner, showers, etc. There really is just no time for homework other than loosing sleep. I just don't see how loosing sleep to do homework benefits them.
