How about expecting a teacher to realize in advance that public libraries would
be closed on Easter Sunday and, therefore, having a report due the very next
day isn't the best plan? Or that many students would be celebrating a major
holiday with their families on Sunday and that turning in the report the very
next day, again, may not be the best plan?

I'm with ya on pretty much everything you've said up to this point. But I don't
think anyone is obliged to make sure the day before a due date is a good one for
research on a project. To make sure there is plenty of time and opportunity for
a task from its assignment and due date, yes. To make sure the night before has
things open for a last-minute scramble - no.
