Keep in mind that Ruby is also two years younger then any of the other fist year students. Even if she does have a lot of skill for someone her age, she is still physically weaker and more likely to make a mistake because of trying to prove herself (like she did against the Death Stalker). That could be why Oobleck stayed with her as she is the one with the highest risk factors. Plus considering the SEW are said to be amazing Grimm slayers, Ruby should be protected until her powers awaken.

This idea somewhat ties into an idea I had, that Ozpin may have wanted Ruby to be the new Fall Maiden and not Pyrrha, explaining why he always seemed to be watching her. He decided not to because Qrow and probably Glynda would be against it (Qrow because he is her uncle and Glynda because she thinks Ruby is too immature).
