Why (the fresh hell) do you want to replace cin and cout?
As far as I know the only (portable) ways to handle console I/O are just iostreams or plain C stdio. In other words you would have to wrap cin/cout (or scanf/printf) in your own objects?
Is this what you really want? Or you need instead to define custom extraction/insertion operators for your classes?

Probably, you don't want to in practice: cin and cout are very flexible, and can return or accept a huge number of context dependant types: integers, floats, doubles, chars, strings ...
You would have to make your class so that it could return each of those as well, and that's a lot of work for something that won't actually make your code any more readable (and that you won't use again in a couple of weeks when your course moves from console apps to GUI ones where cin and cout aren't used at all).

I'd find a better project if it was me!
