I hope you don't take this the wrong way because its meant sort of tongue in cheek. If your 10 year old ds needs an ipod to be able to make it through the bad language on his bus, he might be better off being driven to and from school from here on out. Unfortunately, its only going to get worse. I know there are kids that swear on my dses elementary bus because they come home and tell me what gets said, but my the things my dd says the kids talk about on her bus (middle school/Jr. high) will make your hair curl
I would call transporation and request a change of seat, but also ask if it could be made not so obvious that I did. Maybe the bus driver could do a whole bus seat change so your ds isn't singled out.
While I agree with everything in your first paragraph - really, you would move EVERYBODY's seat on a bus just because one boy doesn't like swearing?
What if all the other kid's like their seat and their seatmates?
Changing everybody's seat because one boy doesn't like swearing and his feelings may get hurt if he moved seats belongs on another current thread.
