Diane, I disagree. Where I come from we were taught to use the negative tense dis to describe the opposite of certain words. Interested being one of them
If "disinterested" no longer means just "impartial," then it is because the word was misused so long that the misuse became in vogue, and is now being taught, as it was taught to you. That does happen--quite a bit, in fact--and that is a part of the "organicity" of language that I do not like. I know that language evolves, but sometimes it evolves for reasons that don't appeal to me.
