by an estimated 8 percent annually; the latest federal figures, from 2007,
calculate the total at about 1.5 million. Most parents and educators
predict the overall recession will actually boost the trend.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://deseretnews.com/article/705292756/Economy-dents-home-schooling.html"><P>'We're going to see continued growth," said Brian Ray, president of the
National Home Education Research Institute in Salem, Ore. "The reasons
parents home-educate are not passing, faddish things."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://deseretnews.com/article/705292756/Economy-dents-home-schooling.html"><P>Christopher Klicka of Warrenton, Va., senior counsel for the Home School
Legal Defense Association and co-teacher along with his wife of seven
home-schooled children, says hard times enhance home schooling's appeal as
private school tuition becomes unaffordable and some public schools
contemplate cutbacks.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://deseretnews.com/article/705292756/Economy-dents-home-schooling.html"><P>"People are looking to home schooling as an alternative more now in
light of economic circumstances," he said, citing its low cost and
potential for strengthening family bonds.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9AEDBDF9-B8B9-445C-BCCC-D5E0BF7AAC09/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
