I really personally like this idea, except that if I were one of those skippers, I don't know if I would want to put in $5 for the five classes I missed. I know that's the point, but no one knows if you missed your classes so I feel like there would be a lot of people who just wouldn't do it at the going rate of $1 per class.
I think that's the good thing about the skippy jar, rewarding good behavior. And I feel like people are less likely to lie to put their name in and win candy rather than lie so they don't have to pay. Punishing bad behavior doesn't always work in a positive way in the end.
