<p>"A homeschooler would be the one who would have the time necessary to devote to such a project"
You really love homeschooling, don't you? =)</p>
<p>I have a music blog... it certainly doesn't require the amount of research and time that a science-oriented one would (mainly because I write personal, more literary pieces that require minimal knowledge- I usually know any information about the bands that I write about already), but I don't see writing my blog as a 'reclusive' activity. If anything, blogs help to CONNECT people rather than isolate them... in Inquiline's example, the teen who would otherwise be perusing scientific journals by himself would instead be actively discussing them with others. Sure, it would be difficult, but I think that this is an excellent idea for a curious high school student who cannot conduct research him/herself.</p>
