Once in 4th grade me n my friend both had a crush on the same guy. Seat change time comes around and i hang out in the classroom during recess like the antisocial kid i am, and watch as the teacher writes down some names sporadically, thinking as he goes. To a group of four tables, hes got me, some other random person, and the kid i have a crush on. One seat is free while he works on another group and he turns to ask me, "who do you want to sit with your group?" And i just named the other girl who had a crush on my crush. Neither of us got him in the end, but she and i became closer friends after sitting together for a while. :D
I had quite a few teachers who did this with one who had the crush on me; English x2, History, Health and all my science classes off the top of my head. English went well both times, History went horrible, Health went nowhere... she was the hottest girl in the school and had a BF... but she was fun to talk with... none of my science classes worked because either I was sleeping through them or wrecking all the questions. (I've never gotten below a 94 in any of my science classes; ever).
I had Biology after lunch in HS and my teacher just let me sleep because I'd get 100's on literally everything she assigned. I got a 99 in that class because on one group project she knew I did all of it and penalized me for it. We had to think up an animal in the future and give a logical explanation of how evolution would progress to get to the animal we made up. I created an elephant that shrunk in size and developed thinner legs (smaller size) due to an expanded desert environment for a few million
years, then as the area came out of the dry spell it used it's trunk to reach the trees that were getting taller and taller to adapt to the niche giraffes once filled (all the trees went away in the dry spell so they went extinct).. and eventually it's forelimbs got shorter and shorter until it supported itself with only it's back legs (which evolved to help it run faster, since it was also smaller and would need more evasion), grew a slightly longer neck and had a nose it could curl up to conserve moisture yet extend to reach it's food in the trees or anything that fell on the ground while not having to use much energy to do either.
She gave me a D on that and it annoyed me to no end... give everyone else a D for not contributing, I did all the work.
If I was a teacher I'd totally be playing matchmaker in the background. It would not be until decades after the couples I've created get married that they'll realize that it was all part of my version of a game of Sims.
