I actually really did like Catholic School, on the whole.  Even though I was an atheist even then.  I don't know if that says something about me, or something about public school in America.

I suppose the problem is that some people thrive in a highly structured, highly disciplined environment, and some do not.  And the point is, IMO, ensuring people can thrive.
