Panchito didn’t know much English for several related reasons:
- He and his family were recent immigrants from Mexico and Spanish was their home language, so he had little exposure to English before coming to the U.S.
- His schooling was interrupted and inconsistent because the family moved often following the crop seasons, so he didn’t get continuous classroom instruction in English.
- He spent long hours working in the fields with his family, which left little time for schoolwork or practice.
- He felt shy and embarrassed about not knowing English, which made it harder for him to speak up and learn from classmates.
All these factors together explain why Panchito arrived with only limited English skills in Cajas de cartón.
