If someone has read the excerpt "Philosopher Kings" by Plato can you please help me!!!

Question

I have to write a 6 page essay making an argument against why philosophers shouldnt be leaders according to the Philosopher Kings excerpt. I have to make arguments against Socrates beliefs that Philosophers would make great rulers. So if anyone could please give me ideas about arguments i can make to support my paper it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Philosophers never answer anything with certainty, but then you'd have to give examples: I'd start with Socrates.  

Answer 2

I'm sorry their is no way this possible; for, some philosophers are good teachers. Now, teachers are rulers over the students they teacher and it's good teachers who say are good rulers over the students (teaching them well and preparing them for life). Unless your philosophy teacher is arguing against himself as a good ruler over his students I suggest he reconsider.
