Guidance is more than giving people information about all kinds of subjects. Think of sexuality, STDs and risks of pregnancy - how many of you received guidance about that, and thought "That is right!"? You can't control which friends a kid makes, but you can to a large degree control in whom they take an interest as potential friend.
Seriously, from the few things you described of brat camp, I do know for certain that I would hate that place, and fail utterly and miserly, without caring a single iota about it.
Frankly the thought of using something like this (for national television, mind you!) as a punishment scares the crap out of me. Are you interested in being broadcast in every single movement you make inside the house, or wherever you are? I can think of just as much reasons, why we should do that.
It makes the people a lot more aggresive - they just have to hide it. I would not be surprised if most of these kids would turn out even worse than they are now.
