Education Minister Dominic Cardy said there's one thing he wants to "shout out" to New Brunswickers: the province's COVID-19 education plan is not what he would want in a perfect world. Are high school students being 'sacrificed' in this plan? Kindergarten to Grade 5 students will have smaller class sizes, middle school students will be in "classroom bubbles," and high school students will only have in-class instruction every other day. Many parents expressed concerns about the high school aspect of the plan, with one parent feeling high school students were being "sacrificed" for the benefit of other grades. If you're cleaning up in a room where people have been eating, obviously the standards are going to be higher," said Cardy.
