What is so special about AAP?

If your child gets into AAP then he or she will likely be a future hedge fund manager who can support you in your dotage. AAP means your child has already had their ticket stamped for a long and successful life.

I like what you did there.

No it is not the norm, even for many centers. Some classes are very overcrowded and this would take a long time so the teachers skip it.
