The Problem With Sparknotes

Yo yo. I used to hit up sparknotes when I didn't have time to read an assigned book. Who am I kidding? I always had time, but I ain't doing that reading stuff.

I'd usually walk into class and be like, "Yo, 6012, did you 'spark it up' last night?"

She would always respond, "Yes."

In case you are wondering, 'sparking it up' = reading sparknotes.

Let's get to the point now: students visit sparknotes to avoid reading, but many of these 'notes' are a lot of reading as well.

The solution?
