A fine grained sedimentary rock that forms slate when placed under extreme heat and pressure?
The rock you are referring to is shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of compacted clay and silt particles. When subjected to intense heat and pressure, shale can undergo metamorphism and transform into slate. This process of metamorphism causes the clay minerals in shale to recrystallize, resulting in the characteristic foliated texture of slate.
Is slate harder than shale?
No. Slate is harder. Slate is shale that has been heated and compressed.

Why is slate used as chalkboards?
Slate's slightly coarse texture allows bits of chalk to 'stick' to board. Its foliation (process of splitting into thin sheets) allows it to be broken or cut easily into pieces ranging from a small student chalkboard - or as big as a giant chalkboard for the teacher to write on. Slate is also very durable, although now slate chalkboards are being overtaken by 'white boards' and SmartBoards.
