Did your basic education (i.e. pre-college/university) cover proper research skills and media literacy? (lemm.ee)

I'm sure this will vary for many people depending on their schools, where/when they were taught, and the like, so I'm interested to see what others' experiences have been with this.

I'm also curious about what resources some have used to learn better research skills & media literacy (and found useful) if their school didn't adequately teach either (or they may have whiffed on it at the time).

What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

It's for post-high school education, also referred to as higher education in my area. Generally they're synonymous with universities in that respect where I'm from, and while I'm sure there may be some slight difference between the two (probably more distinct in other areas), I don't know what they are exactly.
