I'm not a teacher, but I agree entirely. Unsatisfied is a passive absence of satisfaction - "I ate my dinner, but it left me unsatisfied, I need something more."
Dissatisfied is an active condition. It's not the mere absence of satisfaction, it's the presence of the opposite. "This meal was awful, cold and badly cooked. I am VERY dissatisfied".
