If they only came with instructions! Stand hard and don't give in on the things you tell them they have to do. One thing you may want to try is smaller achievements and smaller rewards. Don't wait for report cards for grades. Make them go around weekly and get each teacher to sign a paper saying they have done their homework. If they miss any signatures, the following week they are grounded. Give a positive reward every 4 weeks that they do it all. Take them to the movies or something.

They also may be scared or embarrassed to ask for help, so offer and check their homework on a daily basis. It's a lot of work, but it has to be done if you want a change.
