Diagnoses for conditions without a known causal mechanism should be thought of as much as a reflection on the social and institutional context as on the diagnosed person. It's only fair since it's the society and institution that needed the label in order to accommodate the diagnosed person in the first place.

I agree if the people doing the labeling are qualified to do as much. I think OP is saying some of these teachers are not.
