Summary:
Inside/Out cassette 3, set 2, in-house dubbing master.

The difference is that Inside/Out teaches mental health instead of teaching about it.

Susan has been painting a water-color portrait of her family, which she is eager to give to her father the moment he gets home from work. As she hurries to finish the picture, her father is fighting one traffic jam after another to end a day that has already left him out of sorts. As soon as he gets in the house, he slumps into a chair, frazzled and exhausted. Susan applies the finishing touches to the picture, signs it "Love, Susan," and dashes into the living room to welcome her father. She excitedly tries to get him to come out to the kitchen to see what she's made for him. Rattled by her pleas, he explodes, "I don't want to see it-I don't want to see you - get out of here!" Stunned by the outburst, Susan rushes upstairs to her room in tears and takes out her anger on her dog. Furious with her father, she screams, "I hate him! ... He doesn't love me, nobody loves me ... I'm going to run away!" Meanwhile, her mother is trying to soothe the father, listening to his troubles and explaining how much the picture means to Susan. Her father goes up to talk with Susan, but she slips a note under the door telling him to go away. Despite his apology she refuses to leave the room, but instead sends out her dog for him to walk. Afterwards, Susan wonders whether the conflict was really her fault, and hugging a stuffed animal her father has given her, she thinks tenderly of him. Later she leaves her room and steals downstairs to get some food, but overhears her parents talk over how badly the day has turned out. Now moved to understanding by what she has heard, she goes quietly into the living room to sit down by her father. Father and daughter smile at each other in silence, exchanging looks of sympathy and forgiveness. (With captions)

What she doesn't realize is that he has already enjoyed himself greatly along the way. ln the course of his leisurely walk he has just let his senses respond freely to all sorts of things in the world around him-the gaiety of a street carnival, the coolness of a fountain, green grass and leafy trees, a playful puppy, a lively ball game, flowers, music, food, and people passing by. Chuck has opened himself wide to simple, unexpected pleasures, and by actively exploring them with his senses, he has practiced the fine art of enjoying life. Although he hasn't gotten to the beach quite so quickly as his sister, Chuck has discovered a sense of joy in the surprises of everyday life.

Summary:
Inside/Out teaches mental health instead of teaching about it. The programs and lessons deal with situations that, if poorly handled, often cause the human hurts that appear to underlie many kinds of self-defeating behavior. Inside/Out provides. a "feelings" approach to health education. The series recognizes that the way a person lives, the kinds of decisions he makes, and how he feels are as important to his well-being as heredity, environment, and the medical care he receives. The programs can also be used as opportunities to initiate topics or categories of health education required by state or local boards of education. Studies of the effects of alcohol and tobacco, drug abuse, family living, safety, nutrition, and human anatomy can all be approached through the affective lessons of Inside/Out.

On the day that her father is flying into town to see them for the weekend, Becky's mother drives her and her younger brother Cory to the airport. The mother is anxious and distracted, Becky is confused and frightened, and Cory restless and innocent of the troubles around him. All along the way Becky questions her mother with growing intensity about why "people fall out of love" and what is going to happen to them if there is a divorce. Edgy about seeing her husband again, the mother cannot find the patience to answer the questions to Becky's satisfaction. In spite of her mother's reassurance that both her parents love her very much, Becky imagines fantastically the frightening consequences of divorce. These nightmarish episodes reveal Becky's feelings of fear, anger, and guilt, and are contrasted with the happy times that she remembers from the days when her parents were still in love. When the father arrives, he embraces the children and then haltingly takes his wife's hand. As they leave the airport together, there is no way of knowing whether a reconciliation is still possible or whether all of them will yet have to grope through the pain of divorce.

On her way to school the next morning, Becky, knowing that she will have to try to skate again that afternoon, bandages her knee to feign an injury and limps into class late. Mrs. Johnson announces that she won't be able to go skating after all, because she has to attend an important meeting. After school she tries to leave without being seen by any of the children, but encounters Becky, who now has no trouble running. Mrs. Johnson confesses that she had lied to the children about having to go to a meeting and admits that she didn't want to go skating because she was afraid of falling down and making a fool of herself. When Becky discovers that her teacher is also afraid of being laughed at, she and Mrs. Johnson decide to go together to the skating rink. Moving uncertainly, the teacher edges along the ice while Becky watches anxiously from the side. Mrs. Johnson loses her balance and takes a tumble, but her students encourage her to try again.

Lisa's class is on a field trip to a Civil War fort. As the children inspect the fort and the park that surrounds it, forest ranger Bob Kempf describes the strategy of a battle once fought there and remarks, "Many men died needlessly because there was no one to help them." This moves Lisa, who says earnestly to her friend Julie, "If I had been there, I would have helped them." A classmate of theirs, Jamie, overhears her and scoffs, "There's a lot of difference between really helping and pretending." The children are given a forty-five minute break, and Jamie rushes off to hunt for artifacts. He scrambles along the edge of a steep cliff to reach for an old watch, but stretches too far and falls over the side, dropping to a ledge and injuring his leg. He calls desperately for help, and Lisa, who is the only person close enough to hear him, first tries to get to him by herself, but then realizing that she herself might fall, runs off to search for someone to help her, although Jamie pleads with her to stay with him. Unable to spot her teacher or the ranger, she runs to a group of houses. She finds no one at the first house; and at the second an angry woman who suspects a prank tells her to go away.

Summary:
Inside/Out teaches mental health instead of teaching about it. The programs and lessons deal with situations that, if poorly handled, often cause the human hurts that appear to underlie many kinds of self-defeating behavior. Inside/Out provides. a "feelings" approach to health education. The series recognizes that the way a person lives, the kinds of decisions he makes, and how he feels are as important to his well-being as heredity, environment, and the medical care he receives. The programs can also be used as opportunities to initiate topics or categories of health education required by state or local boards of education. Studies of the effects of alcohol and tobacco, drug abuse, family living, safety, nutrition, and human anatomy can all be approached through the affective lessons of Inside/Out.

Summary:
A construction worker comes across several children scrapping in a vacant lot and makes them tell how it all began. They explain that three of them have built a clubhouse and formed the Secret Oub of Three. They say that they have asked their two friends to join: "All they had to do was pay.'' The three complain that the others began to tear down the fort to build their own: ''That's why the fight began." The two retort, "We were friends. They left us out! They don't like us any more!" This leads to more complaints until the older man lays down the law: "You can all play here or nobody plays." Perplexed, he wonders, "Why does everyone always have to try and get even?" The obvious topic of discussion is revenge-the need to get even for alleged hurts. A more subtle topic that may be missed is the feeling of rejection persons develop when inadvertently left out of a group. Group members may be amazed and confused when those excluded seek revenge on group members or the group purpose, especially if the group was designed solely to carry out a worthy purpose and not to exclude anyone.

One day after school he rushes into the empty classroom and begins to gash "I hate you" on her desk.
