birdwatcherGov. Rod Blagojevich will propose Sunday that all Illinois families have the option of sending their children to a state-funded preschool, creating the nation's first "universal prekindergarten" for children as young as 3.
The current state preschool, which serves some 75,000 children, is limited to youngsters at risk of academic failure because of low income and other factors, such as speaking another language at home.
Educators have been selling the concept of universal prekindergarten to business leaders and politicians. They cite research showing investment in preschool saves money down the road by keeping people out of prison, reducing dropout rates and lessening the need for remedial education.
[Blagojevich] also said preschool gives all children a chance to succeed and compete with their peers, regardless of their backgrounds.

Спрос от них может стать еще менее эластичным, и цены могут вырасти (предложение не увеличится настолько же быстро, особенно учитывая п.1). И получится так, что мы места в детских садах, которые раньше занимали те кто только-только мог их себе позволить (а после увеличения цен уже не сможет), отдаем бедным -- явное ухудшение ситуации.
