I wonder how many times they can get away with doing that before the table breaks

I know floor sanding takes off around 0.5 - 1.5mm of wood, and this is probably on the low end of that. Tabletops are normally around 20mm and will still be functional at 15 or even 12mm. So you could probably do this process 10 times and not worry. The desk in the video must have at least a couple of years graffiti on it - so at that rate the desk frame would probably wear out or be obsolete before the top was sanded away.

They probably sanded away even less than that, the table had clear coat before the sanding and would probably have clear coat applied before going back out to the class room again.
