The term 'Mark on one's record' can be summarized as a DEMERIT, which is an official record of a negative action or behavior. A DEMERIT is typically used in educational settings to indicate when a student has done something wrong and is subject to disciplinary action. It is also used in the workplace to document any misconduct or unsatisfactory performance. Demerits are usually recorded in a person's permanent record and can have long-term consequences.
