STAR Testing

My son got his STAR testing results back (a little earlier, but we are dealing with forwarded mail), and I found out I am not that bad of a teacher. Since this was a 5th grade test, he was tested on Language Arts, Math, and Science. He scored a "proficient" in Language Arts. To be honest, I am thrilled as that is his worst and least favorite subject. Proficient in this context is considered above average. Math he was way above average. In one area he got 100%. Since he is home schooled I am extremely stoked because, well, with me as a teacher I didn't expect much, especially in Math. He did really well and I am so proud of him. The interesting part was Science. He scored a "basic". He was lower in that subject than both of the others. What makes this interesting is that was the one subject I actually sent him to class for. His school has "on-site" classes you can take. I signed him up for Science because that is an area I am not comfortable teaching. A bit too complicated and lab oriented. So, ironically, the one subject he actually went to school for, is the one subject he scored the worst in. I taught the other two and he scored above average, and way above average. I do have to give credit to him because he is very smart, but overall, I'd say...apparently homeschooling hasn't ruined him. Let's not delve into the social aspects... This is a purely academic related post. He had been stressing since he took the test for his results and is extremely relieved about his scores. I am just relieved that the low areas were not something that could be laid at my feet. My inadequacies as teacher are numerous and I need all the comfort I can get.
