In this Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014 photo, two students at the Edwards Center for Young Learners in Chicago return to their classroom hand-in-hand before a visit by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn made his “Birth to Five” early education push a major cornerstone of this year’s annual address to lawmakers. Yet, he’s proposing boosting an area that’s often one of the first victims of budget cuts when times are looking lean, with over $800 million in cuts to education since 2009.
