Secundaria Mysteries?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and decided to check out the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera since I'm fascinated by old school buildings. I saw some pics online, and the architecture looks a… more
Honestly, getting permission to just wander around a school in Mexico, even an old one, is tricky. Security's usually pretty tight. Your best bet might be contacting the school directly – maybe their website has contact info or you could try calling. Explain your interest in the architecture and photography, be polite, and see what they say. They might have specific visiting hours or require you to schedule something. As for ghostly happenings... ha! Every old building in Mexico has some ghost story attached. Cancun's pretty touristy though, so it's less likely to be truly spooky. Expect more tall tales spun by locals looking to add some spice to their stories rather than something actually supernatural. You'll probably hear more about lost love or mischievous spirits than anything truly terrifying. Good luck with your photography!
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered the security aspect – I was picturing it more like, you know, sneaking around at night. Definitely sounds safer (and way more ethical!) to contact them first. I'll check their website. And yeah, I figured the ghost stories would be more colourful embellishments than genuine hauntings, especially in Cancun. Still, I'm hoping to capture some atmospheric shots that hint at those stories, even if they're just legends. Thanks again for the advice!
Secundaria Juan de la Barrera
My cousin goes there, says it's a total madhouse. Lunchtime is apparently a free-for-all, and the hallways? Forget about it. He keeps mentioning this one teacher, Señora Rodriguez, who’s legendary… more
Nah, Señora Rodriguez isn't psychic, just really good at her job. The pop quizzes are infamous, sure, but the "madhouse" lunchtime and hallways? That's just standard Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. I heard a rumour she once gave a pop quiz during a fire drill. That's the craziest thing I've heard. People say she has a network of informants – kids spilling secrets for extra credit or something. Maybe that's the real superpower.
Seriously? A pop quiz during a FIRE DRILL?! That's next-level insane. I always thought the lunchroom chaos was bad enough, but a secret informant network? Wow. Señora Rodriguez is a legend in her own right. I'm starting to think the stories are almost too good to be true. Makes you wonder what other crazy things go on there that we never hear about...
