Mavis Beacon?

Do they still use this program in schools? I remember back in the day when our teacher would put a box over our hands and keyboards so we couldn't look down and adjust our placement, which naturally taught us muscle memory. Is this still a relevant program these days? There was this girl in my class who inspired me to practice my typing skills. In grade six she was already at around 200 WPM... Absolutely insane for our age at that time...
