I am speaking about strictly in a student's educational setting. According to Weiss, the combat academies one goes to prior to an academy such as Beacon involve sparring and practice training. That is to say they have a lesser element of danger than Beacon where there are live combat assignments. Yet even then the teachers make a point of trying to assure the student's safety as we saw when they were in Forever Fall. My only suggestion is that raw Dust training is not something they do for young students and may, at best, be an advanced level course they take in addition to weapons training.

Also, if you honestly think Cinder pulling that stuff in front of Ruby is not going to lead to a lightbulb than you underestimate Ruby. She may be a little dense, but she would definitely become suspicious of Cinder if she saw her using similar techniques given Cinder has the same build and appearance to the mysterious infiltrator at the CCT.
