Again, that's a good idea but uses too many assumptions and ignores several important aspects. For example, if Penny has to become a huntress at the end then why Beacon and why JNPR? Wouldn't it make more sense if she became a student in Ironwood's academy in Altas where they can keep an eye on her?

The thing is that assuming Penny has to replace Pyrrha by somehow ending in Beacon because things happened so convenient to her favor is too forced. No matter how you look at it, it will involve her father/creator, Ironwood, the military, the council, Ozpin, JNPR, too many variables. It's too much of a wild guess. It ignores nothing, the theory is that for Atlas this is a slap on the wrist, which means 100% she cannot be re-deployed to Atlas, she is at Beacon currently, not with Atlas. If you take an exotic pet from someone, do you send it back to their home country if it is decided it does not belong there? No, you send it to nearest shelter/preserve/Zoo, and then maybe eventually back into the wild.

Penny has 1 friend at Beacon, she apparently has no friends in Atlas. Ozpin believes in universal human rights and freedom, as the leader of Beacon he can only relocate her to Beacon, not Atlas or Mistral or another school, and if given the choice, it is almost certain Penny would choose Beacon, because her friend is there, and JNPR is the closest room she could get to RWBY.
