Is there a rationale behind that?

  Not one that I'm aware of, and a quick check of modern online typing resources doesn't share the same bias. I guess it was either the teacher's preference or something she was taught in typewriter school.

    I think “in the dark ages” it was more common to end up using keyboards with only one Shift key - think “nuclear reactor control panel” and stuff like that. So it probably made sense to bend touchtyping theory for practical purposes when preparing kids.
