We didn’t want our son to have Pokémon cards—until they began turning him into a human computer...

"At times it seemed ridiculous, but then I’d hear my son plop down two cards and talk out more complicated math problems than anything he saw at school: “160HP minus 110HP plus 30 resistance points minus 20 weakness points equals 60 points left,” he’d say, then plop down two more cards to solve..."
I'm sorry, but you cannot subtract apples from oranges and expect to come out with only apples. FAIL. LOL Personally, I think the conclusions they are drawing are far-fetched.

The problem is keeping them interested in it beyond the toys. Toys like this that get in fashion do help kids, but the fad dies away and if the teachers don't recognize this interest and see the benefit and ban kids from the cards or the fad dies before teachers can use it, then the shit falls to pieces.

Some kids are just smart, expose them to anything and theyll be able to make something out of it.
