This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

That's after my time in highschool. (Class of 2010.) It's possible there was enough of a push to get new editions of books and they all happened to use that phrase right around the time a bunch of future memers would be online that it caused it.

The unlikely story of how two country singers are behind the mitochondria is the powerhouse. Aaaaaand now that I'm double checking that I'm wondering if I've been a victim of misinformation. I thought somebody told me Tim McGraw and Faith Hill founded McGraw Hill but I'm not seeing anything to support that.
