Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Merrimack District Curriculum
The Mathematics program seeks to ensure in-depth comprehension of a variety of topics, including the ability to solve problem-sets and incorporate mathematical reasoning into arguments. At the elementary level, students are expected to be proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As students progress they should also develop an understanding of algebra, statistics, geometry, and functions.
The Language Arts program aims to develop strong reading and writing skills. Students should be able to interpret texts from a variety of sources, both fiction and nonfiction. As students read more complex tests they should comprehend the various aspects of plot, character, tone, and theme. Similarly, they should be able to communicate this information effectively via the written word, across a variety of mediums. Writing should incorporate a strong vocabulary, sentence fluency, and knowledge of grammatical structure.

Chalk Talk: Writing Persuasively: Avoiding the Slippery Slope
There are a number of fallacies that can hinder a successful argument. One of these is the slippery slope fallacy. This particular fallacy occurs when the person creating the argument makes an assertion that sets off a chain reaction of consequences that may or may not make sense. A slippery slope argument may look something like this: If one does not study for their pre-algebra exam, then they will likely fail the test. As a result of failing the test, they will not be able to advance to the next course. This will lead to them not being able to complete the courses needed to get into a choice college, and the student’s life will be effectively ruined.
This is clearly not a logical argument. While tests are important, and students should prepare for them, a single transgression will not necessarily unfold into the string of consequences suggested. The fallacy sensationalizes the initial action of failing the exam, turning it into a life-altering experience. It is important to avoid this, as it takes credibility away from the claim; in this case, that it is important to study for exams.
