Now I am curious; how are they getting the pc speaker to make any sound with the kernel module disabled? Also there is a very simple solution to your problem. When a student abuses the computer, take a yardstick ( there should be one in any classroom ), approach said student from behind, and break said yardstick over their ass. Or you could just ban them from using the computers again.
