Depends on his parents' and family's story.

Thus far, we know his family has a history of being great huntsmen. We know his parents are seemingly caring and protective of Jaune. They said if it doesn't work out he can come home. It also says they were not confident in his skill. He has 7 siblings, how many he is older or younger than is unknown.

We know growing up Jaune admired the stories, and if I recall wanted to be a hero. Regardless, he clearly did not have the training. He also did not have the experience with Aura.

Which suggests during the stories he was told, he was only given the highlight reel (maybe Professor Port style). With a large family, it may be his parents were busy. They have 10 mouths to feed. So it's likely the Arcs work a lot.

I agree that the way they've set it up feels like it doesn't add up. Jaune sneaks into beacon and takes the family weapon. It almost felt like he ran away from home in defiance. But now we have him telling his parents he's sneaking into a school, and they just give him the back door option. It doesn't feel like it fits together well. As we get more character background, I think we will ultimately get a more clear understanding of how Jaune is where he is.
