Conflict of Convictions

So the school is proposing something new.  Instead of teaching one Sabbath School class and then going to church, we are being asked to teach three classes.  Two of them will be for elementary students who will be bused in from a nearby town.  Here is the catch (in addition to the extra work and hours.)  It will be government funded.  The government will pay us 30,000 won for each class which is 90,000 won a weekend for three weekends out of the month.  The government will also give us money to buy supplies with for teaching with.  As an SDA school, it is surprising that the school has allowed government help since it has led to the government dictating how the school is run in some areas.  Now we have the added worry of being paid on Sabbath.  It goes against our conscience.  Also, we are tired by the weekend.  So what to do?

We don't sign on for a lot of what happens here.  Figuring out when to nod yes and when to say no is tough.
