Students are much more likely to ask lots of questions. Far more difficult projects are often due on a Monday or Tuesday to give students the weekend to finish

  Do you have any data to back that up? At least when I was a student, I would be pretty unlikely to ask on Stack Overflow because I'd probably need answers quickly and not want to wait for a response, but I don't expect everyone to be like me. I also don't even feel like my assignments were typically due on Monday or Tuesday. I remember often students would ask their teachers to make their assignments due Friday instead of Monday.

Many classes have assignments over a week or two. It absolutely makes sense to ask SO for questions. If anything, there was less urgency to my homework questions than there is to my current professional ones. > I also don't even feel like my assignments were typically due on Monday or Tuesday. While I had my fair share of assignments on Monday, that doesn't need to be true to explain this. Even if you assume that students work equally throughout the week on homework, they'd represent a larger percentage of developers during the weekend (when professionals are much less likely to be working).

    Stack Overflow questions get answered very quickly. At least the answerable ones do.
