What year and what country (or development level)? I cannot believe this would be legal today in any highly developed country. Did you complain to school administrators? It would have made a great local newspaper article about mistreatment of (sometimes temporarily) physically disabled students.

Late 90s, United States. It was a tiny private religious school in a 1950s building with a bomb shelter.

There was no school administration to complain to and no students with physical disabilities. I suspect they wouldn’t accept them due to a complete lack of facilities and policies.
