the name of the indicated part

Hello everyone. Please look at the following picture and let me know what you call the indicated part?


Consider that I put that with a pencil if a student do something wrong when I am teaching or when I am giving one of the students an oral exam. for example if a student does not listen to me or when he speaks with another student next to him. I may put such thing in front of his name. Then when the next time the same student comes to me to have an oral exam. I ask the student two points less than other students. for example when other students score is counted out of 20. his score is counted out of 18 because of the bad ....?

I mean What do you call that?
1. A black sign
2. a negative sign
3. a black point
or
4. a negative point
or anything else?
I hope you understand what I explained.

in any punishment system if we do something wrong now. Then we may lose something else in the future. for example as a football player if you do something wrong you may get a yellow or red card and lose the rest of the same game or some other games in the future.

To lose marks, or to be given no marks, in a test if you cheat in that test is fair. To be deprived of a future privilege because of present misconduct is fair. To lose marks for work honestly done for past misconduct seems unreasonable. to me. Marks show what one has achieved; misconduct cannot change that.

Ok, I do not change a student's written exam score. For example in a written exam all students answer the same exam papers with the same questions out of 20. no matter if the student has had a misconduct or not. But in oral exam it is different. I have already told the students that I will give them oral exams out of 18 if they have got a black mark against their name in my grade book because of m
