It sounds like an interesting movie, yet one with a politically correct bias.

We were at the National Spelling Bee last year (my son representing Colorado) and there were no stories even remotely close to the scenario outlined in the movie.

They also seem to stereotype the Chinese/Japanese kids as being the most driven by the parents. This is not true. The kids from India are mercilessly driven by their parents. Most of them did not take part in any of the sightseeing activities during the week. They were in their hotel rooms studying.

Congratulations to your son for making it to the national level. That is an awesome feat! I thought the movie was "based on a true story", maybe it was very loosely based, hmmm?
