The bureaucracy needed to enforce it would be stifling. Think about the number of teachers one is going to have from elementary school to college graduation.

The bureaucracy needed to enforce it would be stifling. Think about the number of teachers one is going to have from elementary school to college graduation. Even if the portion was really small, you'd be talking about having well over a dozen people who are owed money for each person. Enforcing this, and tracking it (I'm sure the IRS will want their share, after all) will require a lot of government involvement. I do think the idea has some merit in principle, but I can't think of a way that it could be implemented without causing a ton more harm than good.
