Maybe the prospect of being in the same class has just brought out feelings that he has had for a while--fears that his younger brother is smarter than he is. Even if you arrange it so that they are not in the same class, ultimately the issue will come up again. My guess is that is why he is so upset. It's not just about this one class.
GT or not, siblings always have these fears--do my parents love my brother more than me because he is (fill in the blank)? And no, I don't think it's really about the possible teasing. That scenario is just how he envisions humiliation.
As a kid I didn't really understand parental love. I don't think I understood until I became a parent...
