One obvious difficulty in educating children for free and then expecting them to pay you back after they become educated is that, most places, minors cannot enter into legally binding contracts. So the kid graduates, gets a great job (in a country that won’t recognize the contract), and says, “I never agreed to pay you 10% of my salary, so I’m keeping it.”
Depending on your country, even adults can’t under a fair number of conditions. Having very unequal bargaining positions, for instance, violates the idea of freedom of contract—which will render it unenforceable in some places. I think it’s called undue influence.
How do you enforce the 10% salary tithe?
