That's all fine and good until a truancy keeps the kid out of his next school-sponsored activity (like the next debate competition). And some schools won't allow you to make up a test if you were truant... should he have to take a failing grade on a test?
I don't think the kid was completely in the right... but I think that women like this are the reason kids learn how to bully so well. She should have ignored the message, called his parents, called her husband at work to have him deal with it, or else made sure that her phone number was unlisted if she was that touchy.
Some people don't understand as well as others the line between work and home. I've had teacher friends talk about how many parents feel free to call them at home quite frequently. A polite, please contact me (or my husband, in this woman's case) at the office would be sufficient to get the point across.
