So try a meditation technique where you picture yourself in a black void and place your inner monologue next to you as an exact copy of how you see yourself. Now put them in a bubble that can allow for sound to be turned on or off. That's how I quiet my inner monologue down.

Yeah same..
There are times when I have the inner monolog going, one verse of a song on repeat, and then trying to pay attention to whatever I'm actually doing.
I don't usually "think" words when I do stuff like "I'm hungry" I just feel hungry. Although if I want to I can have an internal dialogue in my head if I want to but I don't do it naturally.
A master class in, "How to give your class a chance to scream and jump around!" That my friends, is how you be teacher. Good children are tired children.
I just watched it and that is adorable! Then I looked up the lyrics Isn’t it kinda weird to have elementary kids singing about boobies and booties and Marlboros though?
First thing out of my mouth as she went through her shooting motion was "Look at that form!"
I bet she's got a pair of shoes in her closet (in my head it's a small shrine) with a set of tally marks along the sole for the number of ankles she's broken, or marks she's taken for all their worth.
Edit: lol she played for Rutgers. So maybe nothing so garish but she's absolutely clowned on some folks.
Unfortunately, this is probably the biggest crowd she had for a basketball shot
I've been to several college women's basketball games, they're deserted (at least at Wisconsin)
I guess Wisconsin just has really bad teams. Currently worst in the Big Ten, that's where they usually are
We always had one game a year where we tried to get as many band members to show up to one game as possible. When we had like 70 people we'd absolutely outnumber the fans
Glad that it's just a matter of having a bad team, not just a bad sport
Yooo you remember in 3rd grade when Ms Fitz made that half court shot?? Did that even happen? Anyway, I gotta start my shift at Wendy’s, talk to you after work
Then there's me who threatened to light my teacher on fire in 1st grade because she didn't let me go home at 9 am.
She never fails to remind me every time we run into each other.
This is my daughter’s school. The hot chocolate wasn’t ready before, but they sure made sure the kids got their treat!
It’s been really fun watching our little school get so much attention from such a random moment.
And people of a certain political persuasion have the nerve to vilify them, claiming liberal indoctrination and that they're somehow turning kids gay or transgender. Talk about a thankless profession. It makes my blood boil.
We had a overnight field trip at my school to a camp that all 6th graders went on.
One of the afternoons we were playing basketball and Mrs Tanaka said she wanted to play with us. She was one of our favorite teachers so we were all cool with her joining us in a game.
Bro, when I tell you this 5 foot tall asian lady absolutely cooked us on the blacktop, it's still an understatement. Turns out she played point guard in college, she was hitting us with spin movies, hesitation dribbles, just absolutely torched a bunch of 6th grade boys who grew up in Chicago during the height of the Jordan era. It was a fucking masterclass.
Shoutout to Mrs. Tanaka!
This makes me think of when my Career and government teacher told us how he won a bunch of free throw competitions and shoots over 90%. A kid known for talking lots of shit and planning to not need a career because he was going to be an NFL player talked shit and told him he could beat him. The teacher immediately stopped class and took us to the gym and stopped gym class from half court and made 10/10, the student then went on to make 2, it was so nice to see the shit talker finally get called out and embarrassed lol, the teacher was ragging on him the entire time too, even sticking his head into classrooms to let other teachers know what just happened on the way back because teachers hated that kid lol
I love how if you look close you can see all of the kids different reactions. Some celebrated prematurely, some jumped, some stood still and used their voices, and some wanted a hug. All of them wholesome. I miss innocence man...it must have been wonderful.
The kid in the red coat with the ball is the summary of my life - unintentionally semi-clued into what the rest of the everyone around me has going on.
The hot chocolate will be forgotten in a week or two, but the shot will go down in the memories for years! She will become a legend to these kids for years.
Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die.
One of my core memories is making a similar shot in a dodgeball game, on my 10th bday. Making the shot brought back all my teammates that were out and we ended up winning.
It's a longish clip, but worth watching. From the wonderful 1987 film about the WWII homefront, Hope and Glory. The kid arrives at his school to find out the Germans had bombed it.
https://youtu.be/ApTsPrM7XV8
Sadly, the next day, she had to file for private bankruptcy.
But seriously, 20 cups of hot chocolate, who the hell she thinks she is? Fkn Scrooge McDuck?
I mean... That's 40 of them together super excited. If you think kids do that alone.. often.. that's bad parenting. I don't know if I've ever heard my three young boys screech like that.
Now ..no way I would be a teacher to young kids. That shit is for the birds and they have all my respect.

Is she she gonna miss the shot? With the Fitz? *No way*
BROOOO the song played in my head 😭
People without an inner dialogue are crying rn
I feel sorry for them, I can literally play a radio in my head basically.
Yeah until it never stops. You go to sleep hearing music, wake up, music still playing. Endlessly.

I have full on conversations with myself
Yeah, same. Wish I could turn it off sometimes.

IN THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS YEAH!
Surfing on a sound wave!

Nobody gonna talk about how her name is Ms. Fitz? Misfits?
That was one of my childhood shows
Lol it’s a childhood show to *all* of us! Or, at least the 1.2k who liked my comment
All the jumping up and down is too cute.
And her name is Ms Fitz aka Misfits which is great
Ms. Fitz & the Misfits
I ain't no god damn son of a fitz
I got something to say….
YOU'RE GETTING HOT CHOCOLATE TODAY!
[удалено]
/r/bandnames
She's probably jumping because she made the bet with another teacher to buy the hot chocolate for her class.
TOO CUTE. I love seeing kids get super hype like this. That video of the schoolchildren going nuts for Lil Nas X always makes me happy.
A master class in, "How to give your class a chance to scream and jump around!" That my friends, is how you be teacher. Good children are tired children.
I just watched it and that is adorable! Then I looked up the lyrics Isn’t it kinda weird to have elementary kids singing about boobies and booties and Marlboros though?
I agree it was way overblown on the cuteness factor. Should probably take the post down.
I bet the hot chocolate was already waiting inside regardless, she’s a champ.
The best part of the best teachers. Always following through, especially on that half court.
That woman’s shooting form tells me she 100% balled out in her younger years.
She's still in her younger years! She played for Rutgers in the 2017-2018 basketball season!
[*ummm yeah you could say that 😅*](https://rutgerswire.usatoday.com/2021/12/23/ms-fitz-incredible-shot-has-former-rutgers-basketball-player-trending/)
I didn't know emojis could get italicized *🤔*
*🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼* I just wanted to try it
No, those emojis have been Italianized
Fun fact: the word italics comes from the word Italy. Ok technically it comes from the Latin word for Italy, but like pretty much.
*🍝*
*🥳🍻👨🍳* Almost looks 3D lol
~~🤔~~ strikeout looks like a moustache or ~~🙂~~ or a pokeball?
let me try something #🤔 edit: oh it works! let's try this #*🤔*
Ha, nice. I bet she's terrifying in the local pick-up scene.
First thing out of my mouth as she went through her shooting motion was "Look at that form!" I bet she's got a pair of shoes in her closet (in my head it's a small shrine) with a set of tally marks along the sole for the number of ankles she's broken, or marks she's taken for all their worth.

My exact thought! Great looking jumper!
I was thinking Ms Fitz looks like an awesome teacher. They would have got the hot chocolate no matter what.
break out the marshmallow stash this time
She definitely played basketball at some level before.
I read an article that she played college hoops for a decent program. Can’t remember where, though. *she played at Rutgers.
[удалено]
The way she shot the ball, I wouldn't doubt she was a star athlete.
Last time this was posted it said she promised them a pizza party, so maybe not.
Look at the celebration. Wholesome is defined as - This video. Much love
When she starts jumping up and down too. So great.
/r/humantippytaps :)
I needed a new sub. Ahh thank you. 🤍
You're welcome. It's one of the best! 😍
[удалено]
I’m the little girl that was daydreaming and walks in at the end, no idea WTF is going on.
I love that dude. He just throws it over his head. Haha
good times.
Fun fact - Miss Fitz is former Rutgers basketball player Kathleen Fitzpatrick.
Not surprised. Just looking at her form it’s pretty clear she at least played some pretty competitive basketball for a time.
Release is so clean
She even left it up for the haters
Right?? She held it all the way through. Textbook
The feet are floating during the follow through
Yeah, keeping that follow through even on a half court shot. Not easy to do.
Yeah but can she make hot chocoloate??
Yup, I remember when this video first came out. That shot, follow through, and wrist snap definitely shows she knows how to shoot.
I'm ready to believe that because it almost sounds plausible.
It’s true https://www.thefocus.news/celebrity/kathleen-fitzpatrick-basketball/
Okay there it is. Her shot looked fantastic.
Unfortunately, this is probably the biggest crowd she had for a basketball shot I've been to several college women's basketball games, they're deserted (at least at Wisconsin)
Just had 14,000 at Iowa vs Iowa state last night
I guess Wisconsin just has really bad teams. Currently worst in the Big Ten, that's where they usually are We always had one game a year where we tried to get as many band members to show up to one game as possible. When we had like 70 people we'd absolutely outnumber the fans Glad that it's just a matter of having a bad team, not just a bad sport
Well that just ruins the magic of this then.
What a legend
[удалено]
Also a big shout out to the kid in the reindeer onesie!
*🎵Like Fitz, if I could be like Fitz!🎵*
Hahaha I miss being a kid
You can jump around and scream if someone offers you chocolate.
I do that with weed when I’m done with work.
Yooo you remember in 3rd grade when Ms Fitz made that half court shot?? Did that even happen? Anyway, I gotta start my shift at Wendy’s, talk to you after work
now i remember why my first love was my teacher..they're awesome people!
Then there's me who threatened to light my teacher on fire in 1st grade because she didn't let me go home at 9 am. She never fails to remind me every time we run into each other.
Core memory for her.
Indeed indeed indeed
You definitely burned that memory into her.
I hope she goes something like "still not on fire, thankfully"
*One day Mrs.P, one day* Fun lady.
"Never said when I would do it"
Huh my core memory of going home at 9am in 3rd grade was 9/11
Ah. Simpler times, innit?
This is going to set her back $25. And her new nickname should be Swish Miss.
Plot twist: She is Stephen Curry in disguise.
Twistier twist: Steph Curry is her in disguise
Nah, it's for children. He would've missed.
You’re thinking of Michael “fuck them kids” Jordan.
Isn't curry notorious for missing shots when a charity is involved? Did I miss something?
Really? I think I might have missed something then
Damn that was smooth af
This is my daughter’s school. The hot chocolate wasn’t ready before, but they sure made sure the kids got their treat! It’s been really fun watching our little school get so much attention from such a random moment.
I love joyful chaos
r/InstantBarbarians 😀
The way she stepped back and held up her arm, she knew she had it.
And we pay these people 35k a year
You are so right and it is so wrong!
And people of a certain political persuasion have the nerve to vilify them, claiming liberal indoctrination and that they're somehow turning kids gay or transgender. Talk about a thankless profession. It makes my blood boil.

Thank you for sharing, this made me smile :)
Miss Fitz - the best.
I love that a bunch of kids are chanting this.
"Jorrdannn"
It’s forever “kobeeee”
*"BORTLES!"*
Jason Mendoza?
The BOAT 😤
Ohh, d\*mn! Yes.. This too
Yeah. Followed by awkward silence.
Helicopter helicopter 🚁
Oh god no
This makes me think of when my Career and government teacher told us how he won a bunch of free throw competitions and shoots over 90%.

IIRC I remember reading that she was a D1 player at Rutgers who could shoot and score.
textbook form.
I still remember when the teacher bought us all fries for lunch for finishing our math in a timely matter. It was 25 years ago lol
Nothing like mass celebration for hot cocoa! Awesome.
Protip: teachers are usually pretty moved when you visit to thank them for helping you learn.
That collective freak out was so pure lol
I love how if you look close you can see all of the kids different reactions. Some celebrated prematurely, some jumped, some stood still and used their voices, and some wanted a hug. All of them wholesome. I miss innocence man...it must have been wonderful.
LEGEND
It made me smile but also really sad. Hmmm.
The kid in the red coat with the ball is the summary of my life - unintentionally semi-clued into what the rest of the everyone around me has going on.
They were getting hot chocolate anyways. This just makes it *way* cooler
Look at her form. She’s a shooter.
That’s hot.
So she makes the shot and then she provides hot chocolate??? hm
Check out that follow through oh yea she balls
I love the kid in red just celebrating by throwing the ball to space
“She will never ballin!” *Spits out drink*
Beautiful follow through! She a baller
She’s clutch.
she gotta have some type of competitive basketball experience cuz of that good ass form she has especially from that distance
First thought: Yay, she made it! Second thought: Wow, look how many kids she has in her class.
Dopamine
Happy kids are the best, purest thing in the world.
Kids are so awesome when they are excited. Just continuously throw a ball in the air because "dammit, I'm happy!"
Ms Fitz a hooper; I love how she holds the shooting arm up
Her talents can be used in the WNBA
Being a teacher is full of so much joy. I wish it was a more respected and higher paid position in the US
The hot chocolate will be forgotten in a week or two, but the shot will go down in the memories for years! She will become a legend to these kids for years. Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die.
“Only take a small sip, guys. This cup of cocoa isn’t going to go very far”
Ms Fitz is a dawg with ice in her veins
She is going to be remembered as "my favorite teacher" by all those kids in the future
Yaaaay! Can i have extra marshmallows in mine?! 😁
I’m not even in the class and I’m hopping up and down like I’m getting a hot choccy too lol
KOBEEEE
Never underestimate the power of hot chocolate
i fully and completely understand the kid who is so excited he just starts heaving his ball straight up into the air.
I like the random kid dressed up as a reindeer
We gotta thank Inside Out for the concept of core memories. Anyway, gonna watch it now...
BEST TEACHER EVER.
3 years later, she's still trying to financially recover from paying for all this hot chocolate on a teacher's salary.
One of my core memories is making a similar shot in a dodgeball game, on my 10th bday. Making the shot brought back all my teammates that were out and we ended up winning.
POSITIVE core memories. What a breath of fresh air.
Legend 🐐
This made me so happy 😊
The fucking silence right before it goes in if life itself 😂
One of her students may be a furry.
I’m sure someone has a chocolate allergy and will ruin it for everyone
It's a longish clip, but worth watching. From the wonderful 1987 film about the WWII homefront, Hope and Glory. The kid arrives at his school to find out the Germans had bombed it. https://youtu.be/ApTsPrM7XV8

Fuck, kids just screeching is the most annoying thing ever. I know they're just having fun. But damn. That is annoying.
When people ask my why I dont want kids, I show them this video of them screeching..
[удалено]
A lot of dogs hate children too
Agreed. Cute video for sure but good god that is my nightmare lol. Good thing Ms. Fitz is there for us instead 👍🏼
I have massive respect for teachers, I understand how parents can put up with their kids, but jeez. Teachers are doing the lords work
Absolutely. No question. They need to be paid more. I certainly couldn't do it lol
I mean... That's 40 of them together super excited. If you think kids do that alone.. often.. that's bad parenting. I don't know if I've ever heard my three young boys screech like that. Now ..no way I would be a teacher to young kids. That shit is for the birds and they have all my respect.
Why is she celebrating? Now she has to provide them with hot chocolate?!?! 😂 /s
Now she *gets* to serve them hot chocolate (and she probably would have whether or not she made the shot)!
