You're trying to turn an education problem into a class war problem. Not everything is a class war, even though that's en vogue in certain circles right now. You are reading what you wanted to believe I wrote, and not what I actually wrote. 1% by definition are a small segment of the population.
You're projecting. I never claimed that the 1% are the problem. I claimed that at my university, the children of the 1% exemplify a problem that runs through our entire society. I don't read class war anywhere in that claim. What you actually wrote: If my understanding of English syntax is correct, your relative sentence "by definition not the 1%" refers back to the antecedent, "mediocrity."it aims at mediocrity, by definition not the 1%
