LA CROSSE TALK PM: John Havlicek on importance of Wisconsin Supreme Court race, students’ attention spans
John Havlicek in the WIZM studio Wednesday for La Crosse Talk PM to talk about what’s at stake in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, students’ attention spans and a new grading system.
La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
With the balance of the state Supreme Court on the line, Havlicek talks about how issues that could come before it may be ruled on more politically — like redistricting or the 174-year-old abortion ban in Wisconsin.
Havlicek is a longtime Central High School Spanish teacher, and we began the show talking about students’ attention spans now versus, essentially, before cellphones.
One other topic that did come up was standard based grading, that Havlicek gave his opinion on, as the La Crosse School District discusses that change from letter grading.
