Calligraphy is not unimportant to learn, but under the current education system, its input and output are unreasonable, the return on investment is very small, and it is of little use. Students have a lot to learn, such as physical education and computer calligraphy etiquette, but they don't have superhuman powers and what they can really do is very limited, so there is no way to really popularize these things, and not all students are willing to learn and have time. There are many things to learn, but only part of them can be learned.
Calligraphy is a traditional art in China and a unique way of writing expression in the world. There are no words in other countries in the world. China's expression of Chinese characters can be said to be various, but it is easier said than learned. If you really want to learn calligraphy well, you need years of practice, which is not only the guidance of the school, but also the condition that the family gives to the children. For example, can you write calligraphy without a good brush? Can you practice without a lot of paper? This requires persistence and financial support, and not all conditions are suitable for promotion.
Finally, I want to say that students have a lot to learn, but from the perspective of exam-oriented education, the school pursues an ideal investment model. In the case of uncertain investment, it will produce more and obviously improve students' grades. There is nothing wrong with considering a good school. Junior high school is very good, because if you can get into a good university, you can't, and all kinds of interests will be far away from you in the future. So don't complain about exam-oriented education. There is no distinction between good and bad. If you really want to get rid of this kind of distress and study hard, you will gradually have your own freedom when you reach the university and graduate stage.
