One of my goals is to minimize homework.  My high school students are high performing, grade conscious, and constantly stressed out as it is.  Many of them fall into the Ivy League or bust camp, which is a tremendous amount of pressure.So, when I give labs, I try to give sufficient class time that a majority of kids will be able to finish it with no more than a couple of hours of outside work.  That means that I provide lab periods.Certain students have a lot of natural acuity for CS, and seem to finish labs far faster than the rest of the group.  If I provide seven lab periods for a lab in AP Computer Science, I may reach my homework time target goals, but there will often be one kid who gets the lab done by the middle of the second period.  What strategies do you use to deal with these kids?
