    I just donated to the science lab one for my sister who is a woman in science.
    #1 still has a way to go.

    I donated to another project...no offense to the sciences, but I had to pick a literature/reading project :). So glad one of the book projects already made it!

    @HadwinBabazoid: Yeah, I gave to the bookshelf one as well, even though it's not a Jez project, because it's only got two days left before it expires. Not sure which Gawker site that one's linked to.

    Hey, it looks like the #4, the algebra notebooks is fully funded! Yeah Jezzies! And number 2, books for girls, is only $45 away from being completed too! Awesome!

    Ah - and of course I have to go back to donate to the algebra project because to this day nothing makes me happier than new school supplies. Seriously.

    Projects I think are also interesting/awesome: Reading and writing about social issues (like Jez!)
    [www.donorschoose.org]

    A slightly more practical science need (flasks, pipettes, etc.)

    A literature circle (they want to read Persepolis)

    I love books and science. I am particularly moved by the idea of girls seeing how women have thrived in science-based careers. And Girls In Love With Books? I am in love with the idea! I am off to donate!

    Edited to say: Done and done! Yeah!

    Yay, Jezebel! I'm sure the generous and fiercely intelligent reader community will be able to meet each of these goals! I know at least three of us have already given to Girls in Love with Books - I bet we'll meet these funding needs in no time at all, and Jez will have to put up another set of projects for us to contribute to!

    Donors Choose is an awesome group. My MIL and SIL are both teachers, and they LOVE this program. It really, really helps them, particularly as they normally spend several thousand dollars a year of their own money purchasing school supplies for their students, because schools no longer buy stuff like that for teachers.

    I had so much trouble with Algebra... this woman is a saint for trying to make it easier for them.

    All of these women are just awesome for doing this. Next time I get paid, I'm donating. Jezzies with blogs of your own - reblog??

    "So basically formal schooling is a bully-filled discipline machine that will turn your kids into pod people just so you can keep on being an "economic production unit."

    Actually, yeah it is. Though perhaps that's an accurate reflection of our society.

    @biancajames: I'm going to say something impopular here, but I think being subject to a certain amount of bullying in school is necessary to be prepared for all the bullying that happens in real life. Sure, you may be the one lucky person who scores the job and neighborhoo where nobody pushes you around, and you'll have been bullied without need, but imagine the opposite case: you get to be the one who don't know how to defend himself.

    *And I'm not talking about bullying being something that must be tolerated, but something that cannot be completely avoided (except in homeschooling)

    @Dirk Anger: I dunno, I think I could have spared myself thousands of dollars in therapy bills if I didn't have certain self esteem and assertiveness issues that are in part due to the fact that I spent the better part of my childhood being stepped on by bullies. On the upside I did get into punk rock and make friends with other artsy weird kids but that didn't happen until I was in my teens.

    I don't think homeschooling is the answer but I was a lot happier when I went on independent studies at age 15.
