My son has emotional problems, he won't go to school anymore. I took him out to be home schooled, but I have to work. I sighned him up for virtual classes but he is not motivated. He only wants to play pokemon cards. Please help I am at my wits end.

If you homeschool him, Say "Lets Finish this Page of Maths Sums" Then I will play Pokemon with you. Don't let him rule you

Beanie, who is the parent here?
If he is not doing his work why does he still HAVE the Pokemon cards?
For people young and old alike who have a hard time with motivation virtual classes can be a disaster. If you cannot stay home and homeschool him, he needs to get back to regular brick and mortar classes.
Don't give him the choice, he is not the parent, he does not make the rules. You do, and he follows them. Period.

As said in your other post WHO is the parent?
Take the god forsaken cards away from him and be the parent. If you have to work he has to go to school. No questions asked.
