Testifying before Congress, Secretary Duncan came under fire from a few Dems for upping the Teacher Incentive Fund and slightly reducing Title I in the 2010 budget. The marginal decrease in Title I is easily explained by the enormous increase it received in the ARRA mid-year, but, of course, there will always be some people who think that more money is needed no matter what. If ED stays to the right of those folks and those opposed to any type of teacher merit pay program, it's moving in the right direction.
