Boas: The Achievement Gap Between Rich And Poor Kids

Phil Boas
Arizona Republic
Phil Boas

The Show regularly checks in with Editorial Board of the Arizona Republic to talk about the big issues facing the state and the region — featured in the newspaper’s Viewpoints section.

Following 9/11 in 2001, a child psychiatrist was commissioned to research how New York City kids in public school were affected by the attacks. What she found led her to deep conclusions about the achievement gap in America.

Phil Boas, editorial director of the Arizona Republic, wrote a column about Pamela Cantor and her findings and joined The Show for his weekly appearance to talk about it.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
