Several years ago I did not really give my AP students a hard time when they
did not do their homework.  At the end of the year, the students that had
not done home work got 2's and 3's on the AP C exam.  AP C is the
calculas based physics course.  I now give the students lots of hassel
when they neglect homework.  I alsow count it about 10% of their grade.
Two students decided that they didn't want to continue the second
semester because I required busy work.  Both were quite intelligent but
neither could set up a problems so that it could be understood by another
student or by me in many cases.  Neither could get full credit for an
exam problem.
