Abstract	This article examines how parents and children view Turkish schooling: for both, schooling in Turkey is a means of teaching and learning new relationships of belonging. In the next section, the author offer a context for exploring return migrants' thoughts regarding education by discussing the key characteristics of German-Turkish return migration. Then, the author outlines her research methods and places this research into conversation with literature on education, migration and transnationalism. Next, the article explores parents' narratives about their reasons for return and their children's narratives about their experiences in Turkish schools. Enriching our understanding of return migrants' transnationalism, this research shows that return migration can be a strategy through which parents aim to readjust the balance of their children's exposure to parents' host and home countries. Parents aim to ensure that their children gain status in their home country with this strategy. The article shows that children struggle in home-country schools as they gradually learn to form relationships with their classmates and teachers. The conclusion reviews the findings of this research and indicates that, despite initial difficulties in Turkish schools, most returnee children do successfully integrate their experiences in the two countries and achieve professional success.
