Finally - Some Real Academic Standards!

In my years of schooling, there was never enough credit given for clear, concise, direct communication. 

"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 "fuck off", and would have had another mark for adding an exclamation point.

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." "

Unfortunately, and mysteriously to me, the exam board is taking a stance different from its examiner.

"We do not condone the use of obscenities in scripts: in the light of this incident we will be reviewing our instructions to examiners which will include reiterating the procedure to be followed when encountering obscenities in scripts.""

Cunts.
