This idea is overused as heavily dependant on which school you go to. My school taught a finance course, and gave advice on job seeking and interviews.
Also, mitochondria is usually taught at GCSE in the UK at least, which is not the last year of school. 'Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell' is very much a meme, it might have been interesting to use any other piece of useless information taught in schools instead.
My favorite part of the "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" memes (especially when cited as useless info being taught in school) is that it's grammatically incorrect. Mitochondria ARE because the word is plural, and any self respecting biology teacher knows that. The fact that this is cited as something drilled into students minds when people can't even recite it back properly is hilarious.
What the hell is a "powerhouse" anyway?
'Tis a house of power, milord.
Got it. I'll look out for Targaryen Vs Mitochondria in the next season to learn more
