Formation []
In early Fall of 1958 Gerald and Paul Maloney were sitting in a school observing classes for about 2 weeks. What they observed shocked them. No one was interested in what was being taught. They also noticed that each individual student had their own unique learning style that did not coelless with what they were being taught. He discussed what he witnessed with his family and stated that he "would change the way schools taught students and to promote lifelong learning, educational excellence, and create lifelong relationships". Following the end of his observations he stated his feeling of disgust for the unequal education the students were being provided. He went to publish a book that would later be banned by New York State. In the summer of 1959, Gerald and his fellow educators created a plan to fund this up roaring project proposals to ensure New York State.
