Is calligraphy class really useful?

I have answered many similar questions, and here is a brief comparison. I hope it will be helpful for Bao's parents to choose courses. I will try my best to be objective and neutral, and I hope everyone will treat it rationally.

The answer begins with my own teaching experience over the years. Let me talk about my opinion first!

However, as long as you want to learn, you will basically have good results. Don't get too entangled in this when you report to class. In the process of course selection, the most important thing is to know your own needs and then grasp several points. I think these points are directly related to whether you can't practice handwriting well and waste time and money.

Can you keep practicing calligraphy every day?

Whether practicing calligraphy is an interest or just a need;

What is the product positioning of the organization;

Can you keep practicing calligraphy every day? The younger a child is, the more effective he is in practicing calligraphy, but the more he plays with his heart, the more he can't sit still. This is human nature, and practicing calligraphy at this time itself is an anti-human thing. Therefore, if the child can't sit still and wants him to practice calligraphy well, then the duration of a single class should be controlled at about 5 minutes, not too long. After all, if you don't understand after learning, you have to cycle again and again. The course time is too long, and the child can't sit still at all, which is half the effort.

Is practicing calligraphy an interest or just a need? If it is just needed, then standardizing Chinese characters and synchronization classes is the best choice. As an additional content, all kinds of Chinese character extensions are not helpful for practicing Chinese characters, which can basically be said to be gimmicks. On the one hand, it increases the duration of the course, on the other hand, it is not very beneficial for children to concentrate in the process of learning to write. Of course, if you are interested, you can choose to know.

What is the product positioning of the organization? The product positioning of the organization determines the teaching effect of the product, such as Jane Xiaozhi, whose positioning is interest+calligraphy. His whole teaching process focuses on the classification of various interest knowledge and writing characteristics. Another example is Tortoise and Rabbit. The course is knowledge points+error case analysis+writing demonstration. All other peripheral value-added services are also for practicing calligraphy, such as pen control class, digital pinyin class, idiom story class, posture correction class and so on.

How to choose? Therefore, combined with the above viewpoints, in the process of choosing, as a parent, I feel that I should subtract my own needs from my actual needs, which is also a sentence I often say to my parents after class. Now everyone is very involved among children, especially after the double reduction, parents are very anxious, but the more so, the more we need to know what our most fundamental purpose is, whether it is just need or interest.

The company's situation first of all, let's talk about the current situation and situation of each family. After all, in the context of the epidemic and the double reduction, many institutions suddenly make a lot of noise and little rain, and disappear overnight. The road to safeguarding rights is difficult, so we should pay attention to their company operations.

There were many advertisements for cans and bears before, and they were often brushed, but they have basically disappeared in recent months. It is understood that the whole yunshu is dead, and the pot bear as its product will not be spared. So the pot bear is naturally excluded from this comparison.

Tortoise and hare have been relatively stable in advertising and promotion, but from this time on, we can see that they have opened several offline colleges. Fortunately, we have a cooperation point here to experience. Generally speaking, it is good, and it is a steady progress. My children have tried their online courses before and participated in the book French competition organized by them. Recently, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Calligraphy Competition and 12 French Calligraphy Competition were organized, and then I heard that a calligraphy competition would be held in conjunction with the local education bureau. Generally speaking, the company's business should be relatively stable.

River elephant is a long-lived product in the field of children's calligraphy so far. There are many children's products, which are more complicated. Judging from the amount of advertisements, "River Elephant" is not as fierce as it used to be. My children have also gone through their courses. Generally speaking, the quality of the course is no problem, that is, compared with hip before and after sale, there are many negative online.

Finally, it can be said that Jane Xiaozhi's advertisements have been overwhelming these days, and their promotion information can often be brushed. A large number of advertisements also indirectly prove that Jane Xiaozhi has sufficient funds so far, so as long as there is no problem with the operation strategy in a short time, there should be no thunderstorm.

As far as qualifications and professional titles are concerned, Mr. Tortoise and Rabbit is relatively high, while Mr. Gong of Hexiang is relatively old. In contrast, Mr. Wang Huizhi of Jane Xiaozhi is slightly inferior.

Besides teaching, I also made a form to comment on teachers. You can have a look.

Therefore, institutions like Gui Xiaotu's calligraphy teacher's comments generally have two characteristics. One is that they have their own academies offline, such as the Jingmoyayuan in Beijing, the offline academy in Xiamen Guixiaotu, and there are special offline institutions to carry these teachers and digest the surplus labor. This is also what I consider when I enroll my children in class and choose their home.

Brief introduction to the composition of the course package: hard pen calligraphy series course package+after-school new words course package

Tortoise and Rabbit: Synchronisation Course Package of New Words in Chinese Textbooks Prepared by the Ministry of Education

River Elephant: Hard Pen Calligraphy Series Stage Course Package

Among them, Jane Xiaozhi's curriculum package structure is relatively simple, divided into two stages: primary and advanced, and self-developed system. The primary level mainly includes basic strokes, common radicals and examples of left and right structural glyphs. The advanced course is to practice complex radical structures and glyphs. This part of the course was recorded by teacher Wang Huizhi, while the after-class vocabulary lesson package was recorded by another female teacher, with unknown qualifications and poor course quality.

There is nothing to introduce in turtle and rabbit's class bag. According to the new words after class, no matter what new words are taught after class, they learn them in the course package. The main focus is to standardize the synchronization of Chinese characters and teaching materials, which is the most satisfactory course, leaving none.

He Xiaoxiang's curriculum package is a systematic course independently developed by Mr Gong, which offers different courses for children of different ages. It is divided into four levels: enlightenment, primary, intermediate and advanced. He Xiaoxiang's curriculum focuses more on quality education based on calligraphy, from learning the structure of Chinese characters to a learning system of single-character structure and compound-character structure.

The course quotation starts with the price that everyone cares about most. I have compiled a simple form here, you can have a look.

The above prices may fluctuate with the activities of various businesses, subject to the customer service quotation. Among them, Tortoise and Rabbit's second grade 1, 500 words, and 250 words in half a year.

As can be seen from the table, the number of comments is basically how many words or how many class hours there are, which is generally reasonable.

So much for the conclusion. Let's see if there are any other questions in the comments section. In a word, as a Chinese teacher, I think writing is really important, both for the advantages and disadvantages of taking the exam and the influence on the follow-up work and interpersonal communication.

However, in the process of applying for classes, everyone must return to the fundamental needs. Don't sign up for classes for quantity, and don't sign up for classes for so-called multiple classes or multiple contents.
