Plato's thoughts and ideas were mostly spoken through Socrates many times. So it was never certain if he truly spoke out his full point of view. It is said to be that Plato was a more methodical thinker than Socrates himself. But one of his points that came across was, he believed that when people were born, they were born without a mind that was not affected by impressions or experiences. Like a blank, ignorant mind with no thoughts or signs of knowledge.
Obviously this theory now is not pursuit by many people. We are all born with instincts from day one. Plato believed to learn, teach and experience factors in life you had to be born with a good soul; which had the gate key to good existences. Those who were born with a gift of spiritual light had an obligation to teach others. Philosophers and Educators in Greek were usually in charge to help others in need of knowledge, who they viewed as the ignorant ones.
During the fourth century, Plato opened his own school, the Academy, of philosophy; opened to any generation of Athenians. By doing this, Plato was concerned with discovering reality and how knowledge took its toll in it. He also pursued to develop idealism. One of Plato's teaching was that in all things you will always find truth, and people should try and search it because it's perfect and endless.
Plato believed people had a sincere knowledge for truth, beauty and goodness, in which he referred to as the Platonic Forms. He believed we had the knowledge for sensible realities, knowledge we could not have learned from experience. Knowledge introduced to us with the Forms since child birth. He believed well was the source for all knowledge, and that knowledge isn't created but discovered.
