The part I was surprised by was Lawyer Obama representing slumlords, who were sued for not providing heat to her impoverished tenants, why would Obama defend that?
In this case, Obama defended a Chicago slumlord and powerful political ally who was charged with a long list of offenses against poor residents. The defendant was the Woodlawn Preservation & Investment Corp., controlled by Bishop Arthur Brazier, a South Side Chicago preacher and political operator.
...
Brazier's WPIC had failed for nearly a month to supply heat and running water for the complex's 15 crumbling apartments. On Jan. 18, 1994, the day the heat went off, Chicago's official high temperature was 11 below zero, the day after it was 19 below.
Even worse, the residents were then ordered to leave the WPIC complex in the winter chill without the due process they would have been afforded by an eviction procedure.
He praised his slumlord friend when he passed a way in 2010 and described him as a man with "a gentle heart", okie dokie....
I can only imagine the media firestorm if Romney or a pub had done suvh a thing. Why was this never reported on?

If you are talking local schools that part of your statement could be accurate.
If you are talking all schools in Jakarta, that is false.

The article talks about the specific school he attended in Indonesia, and the locale where he lived.

And I lived there 13, I don't need an article to explain it to me.
My point was, if we are speaking to the school he went to, an Indonesian school, it very well could be the most prestigious of the local schools, but that statement is ignoring International schools, one of which is Internationally recognized a top prep school world wide (was number 2 behind Geneva when I left).
Jakarta has three International Schools (all of which would be "more prestigious" than the best local schools):
JIS - Jakarta International School
BIS - British International School
NJIS - North Jakarta International School
Indonesian nationals were not allowed to attend JIS until the Indonesian government amended its law prohibiting it (after I graduated in 2001), although the wealthiest of Indonesians would pay off the government and JIS admin to look the other way prior to the rule being changed.
As for the area he lived in, Mentang, it may have been really nice in the 1970s, but not recently. Mentang is in Jakarta Pusat (Jakarta Center) which was grimey when I lived in Jakarta (93-01).
Pondok Indah; in Jakarta Selatan (South) has been the "gem" of Jakarta since the 1970s.
I'm not trying to be a snob or what have you, but the article isn't clear as to what it is speaking to, thus why I posed my question/statement.

Obama attended prep school in Hawaii not Indonesia, he would have attended elementary school there.
