I don't think consistency is bad rationale. I think it's great rationale. Politically, tho, I wouldn't use those words you quoted.

So, in this case, would you say kids didn't have to study maths or adults did?

I think I already said that this analogy isn't an appropriate one for this issue.

Then what do you mean about being consistent? Not in relation to consistency between the way we treat adults & children?

Go back to the toy example (not the maths one). I think it's consistent to believe taking others' possessions is not something we should do.

How would you discipline a child in a way consistent with the way you would treat an adult?

Take away privileges. That might be a month of cellphone *service* (if I pay). Could be rides to friends' houses.

Right! And you could also do that to an adult, I suppose, if they were dependent on your help.

Absolutely. If I'm offering to carpool w/ a coworker, giving them rides is not something they have a right to. I can withdraw at any time.

As an example, if that coworker brought a cup of steaming tea into the car every morning, filling the cabin w/ tea odor, that'd be a problem
