I was frequently asked to "demonstrate the output of my code" during
into CS courses.  The general technique was to run script and then run
your program and then exit script.  Then you had a copy of your
program chewing on some common input.  Why would there be a privacy
issue if the student has to run script before any logging takes place?

Nowadays, I just cut and paste from a xterm or use M-x shell in emacs.
