Before we had the cap we'd have some students putting in 250+ hours over the course of six weeks...almost a full time job. We're a college prep private school where every class is essentially AP. Needless to say, those students tanked their GPA. It made us quite unpopular with the faculty and parents. Even the 150 cap is still a lot in a school like ours but seems doable. Note that this is just lab time. Some students do a lot of work outside of the lab on CD, CADing, researching, competitive analysis, outreach, etc.
Since we made the switch we had the happy by product of students learning better management and delegation skills. It also means the key students take their time in the lab seriously and don't squander it.
