In the US I've gotten in trouble for not responding to work email that was sent to me during scheduled time off.
Or it could just be an excuse to be cross with you. Some people are like that.
Else doing "voluntary work" is what´s wrong with the "work culture" - as it oppresses the ones who work for money and depend on it.
And for the receiver of the email it doesn´t matter. If i was the receiver i would look into the work related email on Monday, when i start work again - if the weekend is off.
If i had night shift on the weekends as a worker, and something is wrong, and the idea is that only certain people can decide anything - i would do a phonecall to my superiors at 3am - just for the fun and sake of it, for minor things.
and I send it to a co-worker, as in the teacher, telling him I'm done grading his students assignment.
At the end of the semester she had to grade me, but I wouldn't show even for the exam. Completely uninterested of learning German. She said she has to grade me even for a low grade so I had to learn something simple in German. So at the end of the semester I went to her apartment to learn some German quickly so that I can pass with a low grade, as failure was unacceptable to continue to the next grade.
That's like yelling at the mailman because he dropped something off while you were having lunch. Like, MF, no one is forcing you to go check the mail.
Email is a queue that sits until their machine asks if there are new messages. Its on them if their mail client makes a large disturbing noise when it gets a new message. Ask them what their preferred contact method is and stick to it... without being maliciously compliant(my new favorite word).
If he can't manage his e-mail well enough to either just not check it or only bother with stuff marked "HIGH PRIORITY" then he's the one with the problem. Unfortunately, he's making it your problem and everyone else's problem too, and by continuing to support him for even one more day, you're enabling this abusive behavior.
Even a phone call shouldn't be disruptive if someone is busy because "do not disturb" exists, but different people handle their systems differently, admittedly, and some are lazy-scum who can't be bothered to configure their notification settings properly, then lash out at everyone else for their own ineptitude.
Your reasoning on this is sound, but people will have differences in how they operate.
How far you're willing to tolerate those differences is up to you.
I wouldn't tolerate this garbage, though.
Especially since he doesn't tolerate anyone else.
Intolerance should be shown a mirror.
I would NEVER send him one again. If I didn't leave the job immediately, all checked homework assignments will from that point on be printed off of the printer / copy-machine, marked with an actual red pen, and then placed on his desk during work hours.
EVERY - SINGLE - ONE.
As for other people who aren't complete pieces of garbage - ask them if they'd rather have it e-mailed to them or printed, that way you can't be legitimately accused of treating him differently because you can cite that you gave everyone the option and he got mad about e-mails so you switched to print for him and that everyone else has the option of print too, but none of them complained about e-mails.
You can also just schedule sends early Monday morning though
