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.
Becky's parents are separated, uncertain of what will become of their marriage and their lives.
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.

Frankie, who is not good at school work, increasingly resents him, and as Adrian returns to his desk after starring in a math quiz, Frankie suddenly trips him. The teacher startles Frankie by asking him a question, and his fumbling response brings

When Frankie catches up with him, Adrian tries to persuade him to talk out their differences, finally offering him a quarter if he will leave him alone. Frankie is in no mood to be reasonable and keeps after him, trying all the harder to pick a fight. Frankie pursues him to the edge of town, where Adrian spies an abandoned farm and runs for the barn to hide in the loft. As Frankie closes in on him, taunting him to come down and fight, Adrian looks around in panic and sees several old tools, which he imagines using as weapons. As Frankie starts up the ladder after him, Adrian jumps down and circles around below him. Impulsively, he knocks over the ladder with Frankie on it, and the boy falls hard to the ground. As be writhes in pain, pleading for mercy, Adrian gloats, "I could really hurt you now ... I could leave you here all alone." Adrian starts to speak again, but the words catch in his throat.

As a nine-year-old, David dreams that Miss Simpson has fallen in love with him, but when he confesses his feelings to his best friend, he learns that she is engaged. His classmates tease him on the playground, until he works up the courage to ask her if she likes him more than anyone else in the class. He catches her at the wrong moment after school when she is hurrying to finish up her work. She tells him rather curtly that no, she likes all of her students just the same.

One day after school he rushes into the empty classroom and begins to gash "I hate you" on her desk. The principal catches him in the act, and afterwards in the school office, Miss Simpson tries to help him gain a greater understanding of what they both have experienced.

Los Angeles television personality Stephanie Edwards is the program's host. In this episode the proposed road for the Noble family is too expensive to build. When Leona argues that the high price doesn't make sense, she is told that a road has three dimensions. It would take 23 dump trucks to cart off the dirt before any gravel could be laid down. None of that would prevent Roy Singleton from taking over the farm property that he thinks is his. Still, Mr. and Mrs. Noble want to see the original deed. They telephone Leona with what appears to be bad news: It's true that the boundary line was five chains south of "the northernmost granite rock." Given that information, Leona sets out to calculate the area of the farm. But there's something that doesn't add up–unless Roy Singleton measured from the wrong rock. Sure enough, Leona and her brother Paul scout around and, in the presence of Roy Singleton, find the northernmost granite rock.
Lesson 1 from Math Wise a program that teaches mathematics as a means to practical ends. The program shows how math applies to problem-solving in the everyday world and aim to help students to use math skills in their own lives. Los Angeles television personality Stephanie Edwards is the program's host. In this episode a Dallas-type plot pits big-business baron Roy Singleton with a young farm family, the Nobles. For quite a while, Singleton has tried to take their property, and now he seems to have found the answer. The old deed set the property line "five chains from the northernmost granite rock." Singleton and his surveyors have measured, and decided that the property line should be 100 meters south. Were this to be true, the Noble family would lose their only access road. In confidence, Mr. Noble decides that, if the property line is where Singleton insists, maybe the solution would be to build another access road. Paul and Leona, the youngest of the Nobles, get a trundle wheel to accurately measure how long that road would be. But all along, Singleton is watching them–and plotting.
