very basic skills

An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.
The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.
The school, in Lund, southern Sweden, argues that if invitations are handed out on school premises then it must ensure there is no discrimination.

An exam board is to review its marking guidance after one of its top examiners gave marks for a script which contained only a two-word sexual expletive. The pupil is reported to have written only two words, and would have had another mark for adding an exclamation point (for a total of 3 out of 27).

Mr Buckroyd is quoted by the Times as saying: "It would be wicked to give it a zero because it does show some very basic skills we are looking for - like conveying some meaning and some spelling."

Education is over the hill and down to "very basic Skills". Qualify your discrimination and otherwise let it all hang out, even your lack of basic human rights - you have the right to be human, you have the right to be decent and you have the right to respect other humans.
