Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The principal concludes that the son’s participation in the punishment is much like sitting in a traffic jam due to an accident you did not cause. He supports this idea by stating that in both situations, someone who did not cause the issue must still suffer through the consequences like everyone else.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The principal’s analogy isn’t really all that analogous. There are differences between the student’s situation and sitting in a traffic jam that weaken the comparison. For example, you cannot excuse someone from a traffic jam, but the principal could excuse the student from the punishment. Additionally, the consequences for everyone differ: in the analogy, one person may be injured or have a totaled car, while the other is merely delayed. This differs from the punishment in school, because the offenders and the bystanders all receive the same punishment.
