For me, the two sets of parents that stood out the most were Neil's mom and dad and Ashley's mom. Neil's parents, especially his father, were very dedicated to studying with Neil. His father daevelped certain techniques including a step-by-step process on how to spell a word. They made the Bee seem like it was the most important thing ever and that Neil needed to study the hardest out of all the children.
Ashley's mom, on the other hand, was very "chill" throughout the whole process. She was kind of shocked that Ashley made it to the final round, but had an obvious love and happiness for her daughter's excellence. Unlike Neil's parents who wanted the first place for Neil and would settle for no less, Ashley and her mom were both just happy that she had gotten this far. The mom was very proud and showed her love instead of constantly harassing her child with words to spell.
