Question: Your client is developing a public education campaign to help Latina adolescents adopt safe driving methods. After polling to find out the most convenient time

Your client is developing a public education campaign to help Latina adolescents adopt safe driving methods. After polling to find out the most convenient time for a group of volunteers, you scheduled focus group meetings for 15 teenage girls for the next three Wednesdays at 7 p.m. On the first Wednesday, you and the facilitator arrive at 6 p.m. to set up for the meeting. The first teen arrives at 7:05 p.m. By 7:25, all but one of the 15 girls have arrived, so you begin the session. You feel frustrated and have been pacing the floor as you wait for group members. Indeed, your time is precious, and you are aware that the young girls have to retum home no later than 8:30 p.m. You're not sure how you will be able to achieve results in the now-limited time. Which statement best describes how you should respond?
A. Ask questions to help you understand why group participants were tardy. If reasons point to positive values unique to cultural background, understand that these positive values drive student behavior. Brainstorm ways to honor those values while also meeting their commitment to the group.
B. Politely cancel the focus group and explain to the client that you can't work under these conditions.
C. Tell the students that if they are late again, you will tell their parents.
D. Ask questions to help you understand why group participants were tardy, then explain that your time is important and if they are more than 10 minutes late, they shouldn't bother showing up.
