ABSTRACT

The concluding chapter offers insights into notions of surveillance and how these processes impinge upon opportunities for social learning. The school dining hall is identified as a space in which opportunities are being fostered for developing the child. Having introduced key questions at the beginning of the book, these are brought to the forefront here as this allows for schools and school leaders to think about how to shape the day to day processes which make up school meal time. For this reason, a set of recommendations are presented in extending this work for policy makers as well as educators as the school dining space is consistently identified as an instrumental forum for developing children into healthy and good citizens. Notions of health tend to lead such discussions on school meal time, but it is argued how we need to go beyond thinking of what would constitute a healthy lunch, but to consider how the space in which lunch is being consumed is used.
