Yes, because the well-known (to people who aren't first year philosophy students) problems with it are a good intro and lead in to various concepts, notably the distinction between existence in intellectu and existence in re the idea that existence is not a predicate. Its not taught as an argument that is particularly influential currently, but because it is both historically important and pedagogically useful in coning yo concepts that are of more current relevance.
