"I think a better approach is to ask her lots of open-ended questions to help her really think this through.  She'll be a lot more receptive to conclusions she reaches on her own (with the help of your questions), rather than feeling that you're trying to actively discourage her. \n  \nGiven her situation you might ask: \n- How will you juggle the medical needs/appointments/etc. of all the kids if they're all home with you (assuming that having some of them in school makes juggling this kind of thing easier)? \n- How will you prevent a recurrence of XYZ issues that led to the kids being removed from home in the past? \n- What is your plan for teaching across X number of grade levels? \n- etc. \n  \nWith the right questions, you can guide her towards a better understanding of how difficult this may really become for her.  That will also provide a more natural opening for the other information and possible alternatives you want to share with her. "
