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.

Secundaria Memories?

My host family keeps mentioning this legendary "lunch lady", apparently she's a local legend at the school. What's the deal with this lunch lady? Is she REALLY as good as everyone says? I'm bracing myself for some seriously spicy food, and hoping she's not too terrifying...

shes been feeding half of Cancun at this point, my cousins went there in the 2000s and still talk about her. the move is to get there early, like before the second bell, cause once the tortas sell out thats it. also she takes cash only and the ATM by the Oxxo on Av. Chac Mool is usually out of bills, so bring change.

oh you mean Doña Chelo? shes been at that school since like the 90s, everyone knows her. the food is legit but yeah its spicy, her chilaquiles will wreck you if you're not used to habanero. she's not scary at all tho, she'll probably just laugh and call you "mi rey" while piling more food on your plate.

the "terrifying" thing is mostly a bit, she just has zero patience for kids who waste food. i went there for intercambio in 2019 and the real heads up is the schedule, she only does the good stuff during primer receso around 10:30, by segundo receso its just whatever's left. bring coins, like 50 pesos in cambio, cause she runs a cash box not a register and hates breaking big bills. also learn to say "poquito picante" or she'll default to full habanero and you'll be crying at the fountain by the canchas
