Yes, went to one for a few years until we moved.
Thats problematic if you don't belong to the church though.
"These guys are just weird. They talk about private schools. Where in the heck are you going to find a private school in a town of 400?"

This is a fair point.
Not for our school. We were open to non-church members. Students had to agree to the code of conduct and dress code, but there was no requirement re belonging to the church. Members did get a discount on tuition though.

No, this is your strawman.
The premise is that small towns like that generally DON'T have private schools. Like, almost none of them do.
So you can discard your entire, irrelevant rant thus far and just admit the premise is actually true, and that you wasted your time and ours.
TIA
The premise of the thread is this, from the OP, which clearly intends to give the impression that small towns don't have any private schools:
"THESE GUYS ARE JUST WEIRD. THEY TALK ABOUT PRIVATE SCHOOLS. WHERE IN THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN A TOWN OF 400?"
I answered that question quite clearly and quite easily. You might not like the answer, but I gave it and it's valid. There are quite a few small locales that have private schools.

They generally don't have private schools.
That's was Walz's point. And the OP point.
And it's a fact.
You got rabid and made a mistake. Just move on.
Unless you're a sock, I'll let the OP clarify what he really meant to say but didn't.

No, you'll troll the thread until you tire out, because that's why you're here.
Well, if you want to speak for the OP, go ahead, but since the foil helmets don't give mindreading powers, I won't agree that you know what he was thinking.

How is it correct to think a belief in reality, i.e., that a lot of small towns have private schools, is weird? This is what you need to pretend you can read his mind over.

So this is the where and when of the "Weird" meme. Great politician. More old school than what we mostly see today. I thought "Where did this guy come from?" as I've been out of the political stuff where I used to breath and sleep politics. Something bothered me and then I saw the Wikiepdia page "The Kerry campaign!" I worked/volunteered with the Vets people from the Senator's Office and his campaign. This guy will be on the road for the Harris campaign. He's a phenomenal speaker and advocate.
PEOPLE LIKE J.D. VANCE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SMALL TOWN AMERICA. MY TOWN HAD 400 PEOPLE INIT, 24 KIDS IN MY GRADUATING CLASS, 12 WERE COUSINS. AND HE GETS IT ALL WRONG. IT'S NOT ABOUT HATE. IT'S NOT ABOUT COLLAPSING IN. THE GOLDEN RULE THERE IS MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS.
THEIR POLICIES ARE WHAT DESTROYED RURAL AMERICA. THEY DIVIDED US. THEY ARE IN OUR EXAM ROOMS, THEY'RE TELLING US WHAT BOOKS TO READ.
AND I THINK WHAT KAMAL HARRIS KNOWS IS BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AROUND THE SHARED VALUES, STRONG PUBLIC SCHOOLS, STRONG LABOR UNIONS THAT CREATE THE MIDDLE CLASS, HEALTH CARE THAT'S AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE, THOSE ARE THE THINGS.
YOU LOOK WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THEY WENT RIGHT TO DIVISION. THEY DID NOT GIVE US A PLAN ON HEALTH CARE.
DONALD TRUMP TALKED ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE. JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS BUILT BRIDGES, BUILT ROADS. SO I THINK THIS IS GOING BACK TO THE BREAD AND BUTTER, GETTING AWAY FROM THIS DIVISION.
WE DO NOT LIKE WHAT HAS HAPPENED WHERE WE CAN'T EVEN GO TO THANKSGIVING DINNER WITH OUR UNCLE BECAUSE YOU END UP IN SOME WEIRD FIGHT THAT IS UNNECESSARY. AND I THINK BRINGING BACK PEOPLE TOGETHER -(INSERT LAUGH HERE)- WELL IT'S TRUE.
THESE GUYS ARE JUST WEIRD. THEY ARE RUNNING FOR HE-MAN WOMEN HATERS CLUB OR SOMETHING. THAT'S NOT WHAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN.
AND THERE IS ANGST. BECAUSE ROBBER BARONS LIKE J.D. VANCE AND DONALD TRUMP GUTTED THE MIDWEST. TOLD US ________ THEY TALK ABOUT PRIVATE SCHOOLS. WHERE IN THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN A TOWN OF 400.
THOSE ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THOSE ARE GREAT TEACHERS THAT ARE OUT THERE MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.
THAT ANGST THAT J.D. VANCE TALKS ABOUT IN "HILLBILLY ELEGY," NONE OF MY HILLBILLY COUSINS WENT TO YALE AND NONE OF THEM WENT ON TO BE VENTURE CAPITALISTS. IT'S NOT WHO PEOPLE REALLY ARE. THAT MESSAGE DOESN'T RESONATE.
YOU SAW IT YESTERDAY. THE ENERGY OUT HERE EXPLODED. WE ALL BROKE FUNDRAISING RECORDS. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT I LOOK AT. DOOR KNOCKS ARE FULL. PHONE BANKS ARE FULL. PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
WE ARE FINALLY ON OFFENSE ABOUT AN AMERICA WHERE WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
-- Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota

What they fail to realize is that the size of the Town may have absolutely nothing to do with the population of the school. Many high-end private schools purposely seek out isolated places away from large rural areas for many different reasons.
Often times the students are from far away.
There may not be even a single student in that school from the small town that it's in. There is one like that where I live...
