Secundaria Memories?

#school #mural

She says it's got this crazy mural on the side, supposedly, it's famous, but she never really got a good look at it because she was always rushing to class. Does anyone know if it's still there, and if it's worth seeking out? It's supposed to be some amazing piece of local art, and I'm into that kind of thing. Really hoping to check it out if it's still around...

Juan de la Barrera is on Calle 51 near Av Yaxchilan, and honestly the mural is best seen from across the street, not up close. If your sister was rushing she prob never noticed it faces the sidewalk on the south side, so you get the full thing only from the opposite corner. Pair it with a walk down to Parque de las Palapas after, the whole area has that same old Cancun feel.

the mural's on the calle 51 side but tbh the better move is to walk the whole block around the school, there's a couple smaller pieces on the back wall by the cancha that nobody mentions. centro's full of stuff like that, the faded stuff near parque de las palapas too. if ur sis is still around ask her about the old mercado 28 murals, some of those got painted over but a few survived

heads up that Calle 51 spot gets full sun after like 10am so the colors wash out bad in photos. go early or on a cloudy day if you actually wanna shoot it. also fwiw the school shares a wall with a tortillería on the corner, easy to miss the entrance if you're looking for a big gate. ask your sister if she remembers the maestro de artes who ran the taller there, he's the one who got students to repaint parts of it years back.

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera

Forget about it. He keeps mentioning this one teacher, Señora Rodriguez, who's legendary for her pop quizzes. Seriously, he's convinced she can predict the future. So my question is: what's the craziest rumour you've heard about Señora Rodriguez and her pop quizzes at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera? Is she actually psychic...?

my tia subbed there for a semester & said the notebook thing is real but its not about predicting anything. she just recycles the same 5 questions every cycle so by week 3 everyone whos been paying attention already knows whats coming. the actual chaos is the morning shift, kids hopping the fence by the cancha to grab tortas before the 7am bell.

honestly the psychic thing is mostly just kids being dramatic. my neighbor's kid went there and swore she keeps a little notebook with every class's weak spots, like she knows exactly who didnt read the chapter. tbh thats less ESP and more her just paying attention for 20 years. also the lunch chaos is real, that whole stretch near Av. Chac Mool gets nuts around 2pm when everyone spills out.

I don't know about psychic but a friend swears she once gave a quiz on a chapter nobody had been assigned yet.
