What if Jaune's mother, was a loving and a bit overprotective mother, while his dad was on the neglectfull side of things. As we hear a lot more advice from his mom rather than his dad. And he is supposed to be the warrior.

So maybe, his dad refused to train him cause he saw him as a weakling. And his mother, seeing that he isn't giving up his dream, helped him fake the transcripts and send him secretely to beacon. Another possibility is that his family was very understanding and protective, but they were the only ones. Perhaps Jaune has the exact opposite problem of Weiss in that Weiss has plenty of encouragement and support from people outside the family, while her family is less sympathetic, but Jaune pretty much only has his family to count on for support as everyone else treats him as if he is a disappointment to the community.
