I'm pretty sure Jaune named his father on the rooftop when he revealed he faked his way into Beacon.

The situation is pretty suspicious since most learn at schools prior to attending Beacon, Haven, etc. Jaune said he never went to other schools so how can he "never be good enough" if he never properly trained? With seven other kids would his dad even have time to train him? Jaune doesn't strike me as the type to always do dangerous things so I think he really wanted to follow in the family footsteps for a long time. He has a gap of knowledge about Huntsmen that seems odd given his family of warriors/heroes. I don't buy into the ideas I've seen of him being too dumb or RT not thinking his backstory through.

I think there's a very good reason for Jaune not knowing so much. Maybe his parents are overprotective, whatever the reason I got the impression he was mostly isolated from people growing up. Maybe home schooled with a few family trips. Jaune arrives at Beacon socially awkward, eager to meet people/make friends, extremely náive and doesn't pick up on social cues.

Personally I've always thought it was linked to whatever reason Ozpin decided to allow Jaune to take the entrance exam. Because I don't buy for a moment that Ozpin didn't know Jaune faked his way in. I also don't believe Ozpin would risk anyone's life who didn't even have their aura unlocked.
