It is not difficult to find that there are three main problems in calligraphy courses in primary and secondary schools today: one-size-fits-all teaching, lack of artistic influence and separation of learning and application. Many primary and secondary schools offer calligraphy classes and teach calligraphy classes across the board, mainly because of the limitations of large class teaching, which can not take into account the individual needs and personality development of each child, and there is also a lack of effective interaction between calligraphy teachers and students. Due to the limited calligraphy class hours in primary and secondary schools, calligraphy teachers can only teach children basic calligraphy skills and methods, and rarely give children education in calligraphy art, so that children can become interested in calligraphy under the influence of calligraphy art and improve their artistic accomplishment. There are few class hours, but other classes are heavy. Children can write well in calligraphy class, but they may not use it in their usual homework, so as to combine learning with application.
Moreover, calligraphy does not pay much attention to teaching for further study in primary and secondary schools. Many teachers only substitute some Chinese or other courses, and have no professional calligraphy foundation. Therefore, children can't get really solid calligraphy learning. Primary and secondary schools are still dominated by subjects other than Chinese, and calligraphy courses are also laissez-faire.
