No, she doesn't because the reality in the RWBYverse is that Semblance is not some simple thing and it does not have a safety or on-off switch. The fact she is in training is a factor that suggests she shouldn't be held to the same standard, especially in a situation where the triggering of her Semblance was prompted by her falling down after being manhandled. It is not that she simply got angry and accidentally used her Semblance in the process. You really want to rationalize Jaques being abusive, but the fact is that it was an accident in the truest sense and an accident that resulted in part from his abusive behavior.
