а что бы ещё больше усомниться в "работе" фонда послушаем, что говорили более-менее реальные люди об одном из отчётов этого фонда "Фонд «Общественное мнение»: СМИ не смогли сформировать позитивного отношения к ЕГЭ" : http://pedsovet.org/content/view/6609/339/

камменты рулят.
"Я заметила такое несоответствие в освещении ЕГЭ.
Самара и Самарская область(и не только) сдаёт все экзамены в форме ЕГЭ уже 7 лет.СМИ слегка упоминали об этом,кое-где и кое- как.Никто даже не замечал такого явления.И вот ЕГЭ стал обязательным для ВСЕХ (Москва и Санкт-Петербург)-и вот тут просто цунами-все заговорили ,заохали и т.д.
Да ничего нет страшного в этой форме экзамена .7 лет ребята сдавали,по баллам поступали.Значительно меньше стало поступать за деньги.А недостатки есть ,просто надо об этом говорить и СМИ не должны молчать ,иначе мы никогда ничего не исправим.А столицам нашим не надо было надеяться,что ЕГЭ отменят и просто готовить ребят к такой форме экзамена."

так что ... фонд фуфельный.
