"A kid that believes that he is inherently naughty"

Occasional negative feedback doesn't create an inherent self-image.

"It is not even actionable command"

These are children, not puppies; children are perfectly capable of associating being called "naughty" with specific behavior.

You have very extreme views regarding children.

Negative feedback is much larger category then just telling someone "you are naughty". There was not mention of occasional in op post either. Most troublemakers are not making trouble occasionally - the kids who are real problem do unwanted things often.

"These are children, not puppies; children are perfectly capable of associating being called "naughty" with specific behavior."

Their implication about specific behavior being often "playing in sight" or "I wont please teacher so I will make myself funny so other kids like me at least". Or the implication does not matter, because behavior was down to impulsive or unable to control emotions (I am frustrated I act out so it gives me attention and it is already reflex at this point).

"You have very extreme views regarding children."

Nice try.
