1.No, there are a lot of tests, but the tests may not be what they are teaching.
2.They don't have homework about four days, then the teacher crams homework for the week on Friday.
3.Spelling and reading and solving and communicating.

1.No,they are just like us,some of them don't study at all,some of them cram,and some of them study for several days before a test.

And they just had a language arts assessment ! they also have math, spelling, science and social studies tests, and PE fitness grams twice a year.Don't you think these are really "enouth"!

2.They have a lot of homework! they have spelling and math homework every day to practice. Sometimes they have science and social studies homework.It's really a lot!!

3.我覺得他們不但可以學習如何做報告,還可以學到如何分工合作,而且他們報告的主題都是與現實生活有關的,可以靈活應用!

Your answers are very clear.
Here I have some comments on every one of your answers.

To Brain:
Well-done! I'm really impressed you give different answers. So far we know in Pointer Run they have homework from Mon. to Thur. But you said American students don't have homework until Friday.

Can you tell me nore details about that?

To Teresa and Ryan:
Good answers to Quesion 1,2 and 3
It's really important to how to solve problems in the projects.

To Daphne:

In American students' project you can learn to how to teamwork and sove a problem in daily life.

To Gary Chou and Gary Lu:
