The primary source of my media education came from my parents. They would turn off my cartoons, or video games, to switch on the news. We also left piles of news paper out when we planned to be gone for long periods of time so the dog would have a place to do her business if we didn't get back in time.
As far as learning anything media based in formal education... I was in an advanced class in middle school where they had us look at top stories in the news paper. i remember getting in trouble for not knowing how to fold a paper, so the whole class got to learn because of my inability. Later on in high school Spanish we learned that everything you read on the internet isn't true through translation websites. We were given a phrase in Spanish and asked to find 4 different translators to get the job done. Come to find out... none of them were accurate.
I was never fully educated on the topic of media until I got to college and my roommate filled me in on her major. But, I do not see how budgeting would allow for the topic to be fully examined before college.
