Spending the money on universal pre-K would be a great investment also. You could be changing the path of a future criminal by making sure he/she is socialized properly and exposed to education before they even reach the public school system. My wife is a teacher and says the worst students who are also the biggest disciplinary problems are the ones who have obviously never opened a book or been shown any structure from birth to Kindergarten.
Making sure every child gets the same chance as middle/upper income kids is not a handout...it's a way to ensure the future of our work force and economy. That kid whose Pre-K your taxes paid for might not sneak into your bedroom one night in 15 years to stab you in the face for your Rolex.
