well the difference was that aristotle's based his teachings on the theory of life from life experiances and plato's was based on the spiritual in  my opinion it is important to havea spiritual side however its more important to learn life experiances while we live because we need to those concepts to reach a better level including education in addition think about why do we go to school was the porpuse think about it thats how i see the theory of the poetry of aristlotle's but is just my opinion..
