Dree, a 1st grade teacher at an inner city Catholic school, seems to be in an awkward spot with the new teacher she’s mentoring. “As her mentor, it’s my job to make sure she’s doing okay,” she writes. “But it’s not my job to babysit her or her kids. Any advice? I could use it!”

A few people have weighed in with suggestions, or at least some sympathy.
