Hanafin, Joan; O'Donoghue, Tom; Flynn, Marie; Shevlin, Michael – Educational Studies, 2010
Privacy has been defined as "the protective buffer within which people can avoid another party's taking something from them, keeping watch over them, or entering into their lives in a way that is both unwelcome and undesirable".

Bacon, David – Rethinking Schools, 2011
Parent trigger laws, according to their proponents, give parents power. Gregory McGinity, managing director of policy for the Broad Education Foundation, calls them "a way for parents' voices to be heard." Sounds good.
