Really there is no clear answer for this as each situation is unique. However in every school shooting case, the teachers and students basically just sat there like sitting ducks. Rushing the attacker with many students might be a good idea since many can over power one.
It could cause the attacker to fire, however it will more than likely be panic shots. Plus if you throw things at him, he'll have to react to it or he'll be injured, so he's target will become lost. It's a shame we have to do something like this, but I say it's better to put up a fighting chance rather than just sit and wait it out.

As I said, you might not live to see another day. I didn't say that you won't get shot if you sit down, I just stated that you will probably have a better chance at surviving if you do. Besides, I really don't believe in "the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few" philosophy, or rather "let few die so that others may live". Besides, your assumptions about the perpetrator not being able to handle the situation and misfire is highly unlikely. After all, it should take more time to stand up from your desk, rush him and attack than it takes to fire an aimed shot. He'll have more than enough time to think.
Taking these things into consideration, I don't think it's a good idea. It might work, but then again, who will be willing to give up their lives for the others?
As someone else said, the problem is not really the kids not knowing how to handle the situation, it's the gun control system that's fucked up.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
