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.

Be well.
