1. When a teacher sends a student out for punishment

Get out! Now!

Seriously though, it would depend on the school, area, student age, student-teacher relationship, etc.

One teacher might decide to utter something similar to Ralf's example above and another teacher might utter something similar to my example. One same teacher may utter either example at differ times and with different students.

Thanks Molly and Ralf, but how about in a reported speech, when you wan to tell your friend that your teacher sent you out? Do you use the verb "send out" or is there a better term for it?

[Molly]

Again that depends on who you are relating the event to and which language items you prefer to use. MrP, for example, would probably say, and suggest, something like "She insisted/requested that I vacate the vicinity of the classroom" to each and every listener.

A few possibles:

He sent me out.
He kicked me out.
She booted me out.
She threw me out.
She asked me to leave.
She told me to leave.
I was asked to leave.
