FLoridamom - my son was the exact same way in 2nd grade. It lasted all year and never really got much better. We did rewards, bribes, punishments, but I always made him do it. THe odd thing is, he WANTED to do it, and would cry and be completely distressed on the times I made him go to bed and leave homework unfinished. He was so worried about the teacher and not having homework finished but he still couldn't bring himself to do it. He even told me once "when it's too easy, I just can't focus on it."
