The problem does not lie with the time spent at school, the problem lies with how that time is utilized.
Anyone who went through the grade system knows, there are several days where you do absolutely nothing of real importance, or several useless projects. If they devoted their 7 hours a day into meaningful teaching, we could probably cut back on school time.
Edit: I took several AP classes, and in each one the teacher used time so efficiently, that we were completely done with all the course material 3 months before school ended and just spent time preparing for the AP test, once that was over it was 6 weeks of fun, games, and movies.
