You know what Ben? you're right, I've been distracted by other things and haven't explained myself properly so here goes.

You think that Cinder and her gang will do enough chaos during the dance that the White fang, Any military hardware they have and the rest of her gang will do a frontal assault and kill most of the students and professor.

Here are my arguments against it:

In Ep 1 Ruby Rose: Glynda and Cinder fights to a draw. Neither getting what they want.

In episode 16 Black and White: Two first years (Blake and Sun) easily dispatches 20 white fang kung fu types before being bested by Roman and a container.

In ep 4 vol 2 Painting the town...:  four first years dispatches of a paladin.

Now admittedly, Glynda might be the strongest teacher at Beacon. RWBY might be the team with the most potential. But even then: that means a first year can take 10 to 1 odds with the white fang. 4 first years stopped a mech. And 1 teacher stop Cinder.

So we know there are 5 years at Beacon. that's what? 150 students, about 30 per year.

and we have at least 6 teachers, probably more.

So.. doing the calculation without even taking into account that the further along you are in your studies, the better you are.

Cinder would need more than 2000 white fangs, two dozen Paladins, a few hundreds robots plus her team to even entertain the notion of an attack.

And that's minimum. Even if she won then, not much would be left.

Now let's look at the tone of the show. Monty has showed what? A dozen battles since the start of the show? How much blood have we seen? How many deaths have we witnessed?

Now let's say you're right. Monty shows a bloodbath and all that's left are several teams worth students alive.

Then what? The first season isn't even over and now you have RWBY, JNPR and maybe a few others on the run while  Cinder and her gang runs loose on  Vale.

Is that what you see from your theory?
