Catch up on this week's best segments!

First, an impromptu lesson on the electoral college spurred by a question from a caller.

Then, what's the deal with all these referenda? The Wisconsin Public Education Network is here to answer questions and help us think about better ways to fund our schools.

And for another way to adequately staff our schools, we turn to Edgewood College and the Madison Metropolitan School District. Their partnership has built a Grow Your Own Teacher program that is filling teaching vacancies and getting educators educated!

Finally, how smart is it to have constant access to our smartphones? Teacher Hallie of Educators Amplified talks about her efforts with Teacher Joanna to help children regulate- requiring breaks from our precious devices.
