As many posters have said, its healthy that education is so much more inclusive than was the case in the 40's and 50's. But I do think that many parents are over-eager to have any behaviour of their child that deviates from the "norm" labelled and if possible labelled as something that will qualify them for a SEN plan. They see classmates entitled to extra support or longer at tests, and think their child has similar needs. So in the 50's parents were under peer pressure to hide any problems their child had, now the pendulum seems to have swung to any child who isn't popular, academic,sporty & well behaved has to have a label to "explain" this. It must dilute the care and support for children and their parents who have intractable physical, intellectual or mental health issues. Also everyone is different, we're not all high-flyers or all-rounders, having a medical label for your personality quirk must be unhealthy for some. Is it just me that worries about this?
