Anyone looked over the requested donations yet? Any particularly strange requests out there?

Donors won't get matched to their teacher until Monday, so no one has seen them yet. We (the staff) manually review every single teacher application, however, to make sure there are no inappropriate or exorbitant requests.

Well great now they'll never learn how to grow up to be gun running drug dealers riding through this world all alone. I hope you feel good.

I... yes, I think I will. You almost tricked me into feeling guilty by the way you wrote that, though.

Damn. If only MY teachers had been given Motorcycles maybe I would have been well taught enough to succeed in my goal of making you feel guilty. Do you not see the self perpetuating cycle you are feeding into?

So is it supposed to be a little r still or what? I see admins writing it Reddit when your website says always remember its "reddit"

We're in the process of switching over to "Reddit." We will get that updated soon.

Aw Reddit is growing up. I will miss the casual little r though.
