I think Sparknotes is fine, for the most part, and you just had a terrible teacher.

The problem with Sparknotes is that it's myopic by design, and intended to only convey the mainstream interpretations of a given text. Teachers should be aware of what Sparknotes has to say, but teaching from Sparknotes does a disservice to students.
