It is important to teach schoolchildren the skill of handwriting. Some people argue that in the computer age, handwriting is no longer important.

However, it is a practical skill that involves coordination and concentration. If children are not taught to write, they will lose their ability to concentrate and fall behind in other subjects.

The sentence that uses a slippery slope argument is: "If children are not taught to write, they will lose their ability to concentrate and fall behind in other subjects."

This statement suggests that not teaching handwriting will lead to a series of negative consequences—specifically, a loss of concentration and falling behind in other subjects—without necessarily providing evidence for this chain of events.
