I was suspended for 3 days in high school for burning a small strip of magnesium in the school. I did it exactly the way we did in my chemistry class. Personally, I think it was not dangerous. I was in a room without any wooden furniture, and with a concrete floor. Earlier that year someone had intentionally (according to investigators) started a fire in a stairwell that was being used to store chairs and desks, so the subject of fire in the school was a bit touchy. The incident also led to the installation of surveillance cameras throughout the school.
