Very first episode, she herself said that she was complete garbage until Qrow taught her. That's way out of context. She said she was complete garbage with a scythe until Qrow taught her how to properly wield her scythe.

The writers said that Ruby has 0 skill unarmed, and she'll grow out of that. That's even more out of context, Kunrin.

She never mentioned training with scythes before Qrow. It was Ozpin who said he's never seen another scythe-wielder of Ruby's skill except for Qrow. Ruby then tells him that he's her uncle and the one who trained her but there is no mention that Ruby was trying to learn scythe-wielding before Qrow took her under his wing.
