    Okay.. You are basically going against your thesis. A concession starts with "although" and then proceeds to list a piece of opposing evidence to the position you will make in your assertion.

    "Many school administrators think an open campus would be a temptation for students to cut classes and act irresponsibly"

    Above is a concession statement.. What you would do is form a rebuttal.. You're argument.

    In the end it should look like this..

    "Many school administrators think an open campus would be a temptation for students to cut classes and act irresponsibly. However, students who earn the privilege of open campus would be unlikely to jeopardize that privilege; besides, rules could be created to rescind the privilege after one class cut. According to Principal Joseph Atkins, “97% of students at Scotch Plains High School in New Jersey maintained their honor roll status after three years of open campus” (Smith). Students would never risk lowering their grade point by cutting a class. Some small business owners also dislike the idea of open campus. They think an open campus would create havoc in their stores, with extra litter and theft. On the other hand, students have just as much right to shop in their stores as adults.

What difference does it make whether they shop during school hours or after school hours? Shop owners in Scotch Plains agree that students are “polite and neat when shopping during school hours” (Smith). Students will still abide by the shop owners’ rules whether it is during school or after school. Surely no good reasons exist to delay the passage of the open campus policy."

    haha, well I'm glad I helped. I've been in your shoes where they assume you know everything because you're in a Pre-AP and AP class. Good luck!
