In our case (VA), it was the 5th grade curriculum where we discussed map projection shortcomings, as part of world history. (For timing, this would have been about 2000).

5th grade for me too, with lots of memorizing features, drawing our own maps, learning different map projections... This was the early 90s, NJ
