Heather, let it go. We are all in agreement that the slate and stylus is a
good thing for students to learn and use. As they grow as individuals it is
they who will determine what options they choose for their life and what
they don't as parents and educators we must offer all options in spite of
what we as adults have come to prefer. It is all about empowering  our
children to greatness and not trying to be right or convince any one person
about why we prefer to use what we use, just know options in life are what
make life wonderful. That is and was the nature of the inquiry I heard and
supported in this dialogue. Peace.

In Australia, snow can fall in the mountains of Victoria, Australian Capital
Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania. There is a regular snow season in
several areas which have seasonal ski tourism industries. Sometimes snow has
even been reported in the mountains of South Australia, Western Australia
and Queensland though this is very rare.

Snow at sea level has been recorded on mainland Australia but has happened
more times in Tasmania, some of the snow at sea level has fallen in the off
season like summer. Snow has fallen nearly everywhere in Tasmania, though it
is rare to fall in the north coast at sea level.

The occasional cold snap, caused by cold air drifting north from Antarctica,
can cause significant snowfall in rural areas, as well as major cities such
as Hobart, Melbourne's outer mountain suburbs, Canberra and Sydney. Such
occasions are rare, but have occurred in 1951, 1986 and 2005.
