Any other black women struggling with what to do with their hair during this quarantine? I put my hair in some sloppy braids two weeks ago and have been wearing headwraps during all my zoom calls.

I put mine in mini twists on day 1 of this thing that I just took out. Going to attempt to do my own box braids this weekend. We'll see how that goes. 🤞🏾

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
