  • Straight talk is rare...

    But you’ll find it here on this podcast with Rio Grande Foundation Paul Guessing. New Mexico has many problems and i appreciate people like Paul who are willing to discuss our issues honestly. Paul comes at issues from a free market perspective. You won’t get this kind of straight talk about our state along with pertinent and interesting interviews anywhere else, and I’ve looked.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

796 Kerry Baldwin - Vita Nova Academy of Albuquerque
Q: What about funding and accessibility given this is a private school in a lower-income area?
Tuition is kept lower than top private schools; the school also builds a Patreon-style community funding model for need-based scholarships, reducing reliance on government funds while keeping the program private and flexible.
796 Kerry Baldwin - Vita Nova Academy of Albuquerque
Q: How do you handle college readiness and the Mastery Transcript once students graduate?
Graduates can use the Mastery Transcript Consortium portfolio to showcase evidence of mastery; many colleges recognize this transcript, and Vita Nova guides students through college prep using PSAT/SAT while emphasizing reading comprehension and real-world skills.
796 Kerry Baldwin - Vita Nova Academy of Albuquerque
Q: How does the day-to-day schedule support Socratic learning and independent projects?
Days are divided into morning Socratic discussions, followed by intellectual pursuits focused on research and communication, a lunch break, then another Socratic block, with creative and hands-on projects in the afternoon and optional off-campus mentorships.
796 Kerry Baldwin - Vita Nova Academy of Albuquerque
Q: Now, what is a micro school and how did Vita Nova Academy come to be?
A micro school originated from COVID-era learning pods, evolved into small high schools with intimate class sizes; Vita Nova began when a parent group expressed interest in turning a successful online Socratic course into a high school experience grounded in mastery and student-directed learning.
790 Johnny Johnson of the New Mexico Trucking Association - Taxes, Roads and Safety
Q: What specific projects do you think SB2 will enable, and what are the biggest priorities?
Truck lanes on I-40 from Albuquerque to the Arizona border are highlighted as a major project, with emphasis on funding that allows shovel-ready maintenance and improvements; the guest expects better, more consistent funding for maintenance rather than reconstruction delays.
