    “Super fucking common” struck me as hyperbolic, so I dug a bit.

    Here, under the most recent data, 2019-20, “Removal with no services for remainder of school year”, which is close to expulsion but not quite as severe on paper (if I understand correctly that expulsion is ‘you can’t come back ever’, not just ‘you can’t come back until next year’), is something that happened in response to “Physical fights or attacks” at only 5.1% of schools.
