Oh and totally forgot--that was precisely my son's issue in school. Given a book, he'd polish it off by the week's end...then he'd have to remember to write out his section summaries over the course of a month. He'd forget to do that, of course, and wasn't a fan of doing them all at once either since that wasn't the expectation. Probably the best class that I ever had was a biology class in college that was "do at your own pace". I held the record for finishing the class at the earliest date with the highest marks (100%--no kidding). It's what earned me recommendations to Berkeley. Honestly, I think that the "do at your own pace" would be really the best thing for schools overall. It'd free up the teacher's time to be there for questions and spread homework turn in over an entire semester instead of having X paper written by 28 students due on X date to be graded by the next couple days.
