Not really. In my area, the school day is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Teachers typically arrive by 7:30 AM and leave around 3:30 PM - and then do grading and other work activities in their evenings. Where do you cut 25% from that? Who watches the kids - especially in some communities where single parent households are the norm? If the state provides daycare, the money has to come from somewhere, and school budgets are stretched as is.
The workday reduction is a bit hand-wavy - it sounds good on the surface but when you get into the nitty gritty.
