A teacher needs to be consistent and clear when dealing with behavior problems. If the class has agreed upon rules the teacher should remind the student why they made the rules they did. If the behavior reaches a point where consequences need to be applied, then the teacher needs to be consistent.
This is an important part of creating a class that is respectful of the teacher and each other. If the students come up with the rules they are more likely to feel a sense of ownership and be willing to abide by them. It would not do any good for the class to know the rules if the teacher was inconsistent with the consequences. The students would simply be confused about when they really had to follow the rules.
