Teacher salaries stagnant.


Despite several six-digit salary teachers in classrooms across the U.S., the National Education Association reveals in a report that teacher salary levels have barely budged in the past decade. The report, Rankings and Estimates. Rankings of the States 2004 and Estimates of School Statistics 2005, shows the average salary of a public school teacher for the 2003-04 year increased only slightly over the previous year and teacher salaries have remained flat, growing just 2.9 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars.
