When you are in a meeting, how is it possible that other members can kick you out? Why would this functionality be needed?
Does the meeting leader have the option to change this?

By kick outdo you mean exclude you, this can happen so that people can talk about things you are not meant to/needed to be a part of. For example an interview by two staff and you. The leader will invite you in and disconnect from you to move on with other staff. Not sure what your problem is here...

Actually kick you out so you have to rejoin?

And you get a message saying ‘someone has removed you’

I would think only the leader (who has set the meeting and invited everyone) can remove people from meetings. Surely its in case anyone (student, pupil) is being disruptive and/or anyone's technology is playing up/putting their mikes on by accident causing disruption.

You need to make everyone else attendees and then they won't be able to remove people / mute each other etc

Yes, it can happen. By default users join a meeting as a ‘presenter’ so have the same options as the person leading the session. You need to ‘View participants’, if I recall you then go to ‘manage options’ and change their status- I think it says ‘attendees’.

Shouldn't the school have fixed the settings by default?

Yes, I would think the leader only has this function.
I’ve just watched ds get removed 30 times from a lesson by one of the other kids

contact the teacher that’s just not acceptable kids can be horrible

I’m not overreacting?

I’m not overreacting?
Not in the slightest. Report it immediately. It's bullying behaviour.

Yep the teacher should have set the students to attendees so that they can’t do this but training on remote learning tech has been pretty non-existent in my experience so everyone is muddling along.

Definitely contact the teacher to tell them, they probably aren’t even aware it’s happening.
