If the IT dept is concerned about that, they would be equally concerned 
about Raspberry Pi boards being loaded with packet sniffers and other 
software.

There's no fundamental difference, except that the Pi is smaller, and 
doesn't come with a case.

If you don't want the students to have full access to the computers, 
just set up a virtual machine for each student. If you're worried about 
the students messing up the network, configure the host machine as a 
firewall, or have an external firewall to isolate the entire classroom.
