I never thought of it that way. Interesting. I only halfway agree with you, though.

Jaune must have automatically assumed that by going to Beacon, he would automatically become a better warrior. He didn't really think about how, and now he's in waaaaaaay over his head. I think the reason Jaune hasn't been training or studying (at least, from what we've seen) is because he wants people to think he has everything under control--when in reality, he's just too insecure (or stubborn) to admit that he needs help. In Jaune's mind, going to the training floor when other people are there would make him look like an idiot, so he avoids it entirely.

My basis: Pyrrha's rationale behind using the roof for training was so that she and Jaune could train alone. Not surprisingly, Pyrrha figured out or at least pieced together what the source of Jaune's insecurity was, and came up with a way to work around it. However, I think Jaune is mistaking Pyrrha's helpfulness (and possibly attraction) for pity.
