That'd be fine. You could then turn over to your administrator all of the logs which would show nothing even remotely inappropriate.

I should probably add that my wife doesn't teach at an ordinary public school, it's a college-prep charter school. The students and faculty interact a lot more outside of class as compared to anything I've seen at any other school.
