Introduction George Wood is in his 18th year as principal of Federal Hocking High and Middle School in Stewart, Ohio and is also the Executive Director of The Forum for Education and Democracy. He is the author of several books including Time To Learn, Schools that Work, and Many Children Left Behind (with Deborah Meier). This blog is based on his daily work as a public school principal and takes its title from the 5000 hours young people spend in school during their four years of high school. It is 5000 hours they will never get back and America has an obligation to every child that this time is both challenging, engaging, and enriching.
