The "essential things" can't be put in a primer. It would be better to take one 'thread' from Marx rather than trying to grab the (probably non-existent) _essence_. I think Chapter 14 of WPP by itself would represent a good introduction; it could be used without making (necessarily) false claims to be handling Marxism as a whole.
Or perhaps the first few paragraphs of the chapter on the Working Day in Capital.

Traditional public high school. Any suggestions for a primer on Marx? He has looked at a sort of comic-book, called something along the lines of "Marx for Dummies" but unsatisfied with that. What are the essential things to know? And where can a teen-ager begin to read about this?
