Asian countries have strong traditions of doing the best so they can get the best jobs, following from the relatively low number of positions available per capita. American students do not 'need' to do as well absolutely, only relatively. So Asian students study and work harder, and they do better as a result.

Which is better gem programs or advanced maths for 6 grade?

Why some people who are good at math bad at writing English essays and vice versa?

Well, some dyslexic people are far better at maths and sciences than English based subjects, so tend to end up in maths-based careers. (Since it makes sense to play to your strengths ). Although many dyslexic maths students etc.. can still write great essays, so long as there's a spell checking facility available . For others who are good at maths and are not dyslexic, there are actually many who easily write a good essay and do maths. Maths is a subject that seems to require a certain way of thinking; a logical ability, analytical and questioning, which actually does translate well into essay writing. (Maths students spend half their time attempting to argue certain statements in a very precise way, which lends itself quite well to the requirement of essay writing. Also they seem to posses a certain pedantry about the exact usages of words, which is helpful when attempting to analyse prose). Many of the great mathematicians wrote essays on philosophy (as a hobby). However since those who study maths are not actually required to write essays regularly, you may find that they're sometimes out of practice. However you will find that those who have chosen to study English would have issues doing maths (simply because if you suddenly reach a certain level then give up maths, it's difficult to get started again). Also, generally those who have tended to study English never really enjoyed maths, which would make attempts to do maths dissatisfying.
