    Maybe some more context.

    At my particular alma mater, the window line was below the desks a bit. And a lot of them were close to the windows. Using the ducking under the desks as protection against the auxiliary blast radius would still be a bit dangerous, as one would still catch glass shards in the head and possibly the neck.

    Better idea IMO, gather the students along an interior wall, have them sit on the floor, and tip a few desks over to protect them.

      Oh wow, yeah ducking wouldn’t help so much if you’re ducking to be at face level with glass 😬

      Hopefully we’ll never have to find out. Chilling in an interior room is probably a good call, the closest survivors to the Hiroshima ground zero were cocooned inside a bank vault.
