Are we, since we don't get the same benefits as regular teachers and don't have to come to work every day?

Depending on the district you're working for. The ones in this area are not independent contractors, they are actually staff members of the district and are "on - call" as subs. They are allowed to accept/reject jobs as often as they want. Of course if you are rejecting jobs more often than accepting then they might consider letting you go. But the district lets you set your own contract to which days you can and cannot work. But yes, since you are not a full time teacher, you do not recieve the same benefits as a teacher.

Depends on where you are working. Independent contracts do NOT get the same benfits as those working for the school district on a contract basis. They are short term labor to fill a short term need. They are not asked to show up daily all year and in return for the "flexibility" of contract work they do not have benefits either. Economics 101.

In the 2 districts I work for in order to stay a sub you have to work at least 3 days a month to keep your contract.They don't always adhere to these rules but it's a guideline.
We should get the same benefits imo.
It's shame when we're willing to pay MLB players millions of dollars a yr for crappy baseball but we don't pay our educators enough.

Well, in Duval County, subs are part of a company hired by the school board
