Is 'cheering up' a positive thing to say here?

[JWatts29]

A fb friend of mine (old school friend) said the following to me on messenger:

"I get back to [home town] on the weekend of the 21st and will be heading into school the following week to talk to maths A-level. So i can always see you then, I know the staff would like to see you. They need a lot of cheering up. "

Is 'cheering up' a positive thing to say here? How did they mean it?
(I'm not a naturally funny person, haha - so I am not too sure what they meant by it! )

Vote (YABU/YANBU options randomly assigned - I have absolutely no idea or preconception!..)

Thanks :)

YABU - Not Positive
YANBU - Positive

Maybe CBT and/ or an autism assessment (if you don’t already have a dx) would help? Your GP should be able to refer, suggest screening checklists etc.

Is it a private school? At my old state school one alumni wouldn’t be inviting another to pop in with them, and the teachers would have been too busy teaching to say hello if you arrived unplanned anyway.

I would take it at face value and meet her - but I wouldn’t over think it and I definitely wouldn’t expect a big 1:1 friends catch up.

They'll be pleased to see you. Yes, it's positive.

You're definitely massively over thinking OP. I think the person sees you in a friendly way and just thought it would be nice for teachers to see an ex pupil and see how they're getting on. This might cheer them up.

Does the person who said this to me have a positive impression of me/see me as a friend?

What makes you think anyone can know that from one random comment? Why don’t you ask her what she means?
