does not put quality time
não dedica tempo e atenção


Explanation:

Creio que a a ideia é que o rapaz (Jonathan) não dedica tempo e atenção ao seu dever de casa.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/quality_time
Time spent in giving another person one's undivided attention in order to strengthen a relationship

Quando dedica tempo, não é "tempo de qualidade" (evitaria ao máximo a tradução literal), ou seja, não está prestando atenção suficiente àquilo. É só tempo - sem dar total atenção.

Fica a sugestão.

coloca aquele tempo que da a qualidade (para os)


Explanation:
This is a gap case, I believe. We have to be creative and think of cultural translation.
