The article highlighted the popularity Speed Stacks has gained in "7,500 schools from Maine to California". It particularly noted that in many school districts, "stacking's novelty has stirred new interest in physical education at a time when it is threatened by budget cuts, student lethargy and increased time demands for academic subjects."

The article mentions specific programs and schools where stacking has become part of physical-education classes: [as example] at Bishop Dwenger High School, in Fort Wayne, Ind. where the program has grown in its three years to include an annual tournament and added stacking to an achievement program. "It's putting the brain to work," says principal J. Fred Tone. "It's awesome."

The article, concluding with the notation that stacking has evolved into a more "physical" effort, quoted Mr. Fox "who recently completed a stacking tour of England, Germany and Denmark and is finishing up a booklet that suggests an array of more strenuous activities involving everything from relay races to stacking while doing one-armed push-ups."
