I think it is the parents who want the labels, not the teachers.
I see this a lot.
When I began teaching, the attitude I met was that children didn’t have problems until they reached KS2. Everything else was slow development and most children would eventually catch up. I thought it was crazy!
Early diagnosis is great, but some parents see a label, not only as a way to get their child more help, which may or may not be necessary, but as a magic wand which will cure what they see as a problem.
E.g. A parent whose child spent a period related to his justified ‘label’ at a PRU, was irate that his behaviour at home wasn’t magically transformed and loudly slated school and the PRU on FB.
