Why bother when you know it's useless?

So, I have a question. I'm a teenager who has no choice but to learn online through Teams since the Covid 19 outbreak. Just like every other student out there. But that's not the problem. So, when this virus first started and we were forced to study from home, I did all my school work without missing anything, and my notes (and notebooks) were neat. Key word= were. Since about maybe 3 months ago, I've started feeling as if all of my efforts are going to be useless. So why bother? My cramped fingers have been arguing with me ever since. My muddled stupor isn't without any basis either. Because just last year, my school stuff, along with the notebooks with my immaculate, pained handwriting, were burned since they added to the clutter in my room and my mother hates clutter. Now I have a feeling that this year it's going to be the same. I still force myself to pay attention and listen during those long, boring hours of lecture, but still, a small part of my brain (which is getting larger by day) keeps asking me, Why bother? I know it's not right to neglect my work, but, what's the point if nobody sees it and eventually, just adds to the growing pile of discarded school items?
