I have heard they essentially get unlimited time and tries to pass the standardized tests, though, so essentially they cannot fail. I hope I am wrong.

Its probably a state by state rule, but that's the case in Ohio as well. In fact those students who receive services are nearly impossible to expel and can only be suspended for a certain amount of time.

He can't post a link because there isn't one. He just made it up. But I see the LINK police havn't come rusing in yet. I guess 90% of the people who want to see links are his friends.

Actually ALL students get unlimited time. They start testing shortly after school starts and can not be interrupted, not even for lunch. If they are not finished then their lunch is brought to them. I know of teachers who have stayed until 4:30 and 5:00 waiting on a student to finish a test, but that is the right of all students.
I have never heard of taking the test more than one time or until it is passed. That is against the law. Each student logs into a website to take the test. Once they submit the test it is done. There are no do-overs. In fact nobody even knows if they passed or failed until several months later. They do not receive an immediate score.
Whoever told you these things was either lying or had no idea what they were talking about.

So if we ask for support of a claim we are the link police?
The very basic precept of debate is that you have a supportable position. If you don't want to support you position then that is fine but don't expect your unsupported position to be taken seriously. "Because I said so" is not a valid argument.

I've never said "because I said so" about 90% of my posts that need a link have it. The position we are talkign about here is just some made up arbitary percentage, with NO factual evidence. And not 1 of the people I have seen responding to my posts crying about a link have said 1 thing about this. So it stand to reason that there is colusion.

I get asked for links by our conservative buddies all the time. When I do show links they still complain . There's just no pleasing some people on here.Drug and smoke free trading.

I am a logical, intellectual, educated person. If you show me a link that supports your position then I always accept it.
