> de-emphasizing coursework in favor of making or doing things in the world of research/business/politics/etc. seems preferable to me. Yes but schools are de-emphasizing coursework in favor of nothing at all, mostly because in K-12 it makes stats look better (yay! graduation!) and in college butts in seats are $$$. And make no mistake that school is getting shamefully easy.
