How about English-immersion classes for four and five year olds?

Pre-school payoff

Funding pre-school for all students would save money, a RAND study concludes.

For every dollar California would spend on creating a public preschool program for all 4-year-olds, the state would yield more than $2 in economic benefits by reducing the number of students held back in school, increasing the number of high school graduates and slashing the number of children who land in the juvenile justice system.

High-quality pre-school can help students from low-income, poorly educated and non-English-speaking families be successful in school; I doubt there's much benefit to taxpayers in providing tuition-free pre-school for affluent, educated parents.
