Rasha's decision to barricade the shooter in a classroom was commendable as it effectively minimized the potential number of casualties in a dangerous situation. In crisis situations, individuals may have varying responses based on their training and instincts. While some people may be taught to physically confront an attacker, such as using a bat to defend themselves, it is important to consider that every situation is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether to confront or find a safe place to hide depends on various factors like the individual's capabilities, surroundings, and available resources. Ultimately, the priority should always be to ensure personal safety and the safety of others to the best extent possible.

I believe that Rasha was scared and frightened and that influenced her choice but it was wrong though cause those kids were not safe , she should have done better.

I wouldn't say that Rasha's choice was the best because it put some of those kids in harm's way; but considering the fact that her decision must have been influenced by fright, its pardonable.
