The article informs that students in a Maryland High School will have a tough time if they try to doctor their report cards. River Hill High School in Howard County became one of a growing number of schools to use paper with a watermark to prevent students from altering their social studies, math or English marks on report cards. A 2001 study by the Center for Academic Integrity found 74 percent of high school students said they cheated at least once on a test. Karen Clifford, an executive board member of the center, says the issue has not been given enough attention at the secondary level.
