You can't. Routes have nothing to do with media layer information. You can, however, hard-code ARP entries [using arp(8)] so that the IP-to-MAC mapping isn't picked up dynamically from their traffic. You should also, in my opinion, consider non-technical solutions, like terminating these people's accounts, firing them, failing them in your course, slapping their wrists with #6 linguine, whatever's appropriate in your environment.
