Yep. And everywhere else - preparing legal briefs, technical writing, journalism, etc. I don't think they stopped teaching it until the advent of the proportional font in word processors.

I actually never took typing class. They were part of the guidelines when writing papers in High School (maybe middle school). Points were deducted if there was only one space.
