Dad Confirms
Douglas called me at 6:58 this morning. He called to tell me he had realized that he has been having headaches all his life, and that he just got used to them. He also said he doesn't think he is schizophrenic, and I agree. I lived with a schizophrenic to two years, Nana Marissa, and Douglas isn't anything like that. He's like Spane.
So, Douglas is coming over today. That should be interesting. Maria doesn't like him, and at one point had threatened to call the police on him for elder abuse. I never got why she thought he was abusing her - he didn't yell at her, hit her, insult her - all he was was kind and respectful. I think something is wrong with Maria - that she may be ill, but that's a whole other story.
Our Son is a Math Wiz
In the mail this morning was Spane's STAR Student Report. This is the California Standardized Testing and Reporting program that measures a child's progress in meeting the state's academic content standards, which describes what all students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
Spane got a 453 in Mathematics, and placed in the Advanced level. The highest possible score is 600. This is how he scored:
| Content | Spane | Other Kids |
|---|---|---|
| Place Value, Addition and Subtraction | 93% | 75% - 90% |
| Multiplication, Division, and Fractions | 91% | 75% - 90% |
| Algebra and Functions | 100% | 70% - 85% |
| Measurement and Geometry | 93% | 80% - 90% |
| Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability | 86% | 75% - 85% |
Not So Good in Reading
I wonder if reading takes more concentration than math. I imagine it must, because Spane did not do so well on English Language Arts. He still tested as Proficient, so I am happy about that.
| Content Area | Spane | Other Kids |
|---|---|---|
| Word Analysis and Vocabulary Development | 73% | 75% - 85% |
| Reading Comprehension | 67% | 70% - 80% |
| Literary Response and Analysis | 83% | 80% - 85% |
| Writting Conventions | 79% | 75% - 85% |
| Writing Strategies | 63% | 70% - 80% |
