I don't think that it's 'Mrs. Schnee' that's the oppressive, harsh one. This remember being surprised to find evidence in some of the past blogs that Mr. Schnee was being hinted among the cast. At the very least, I expect him to be more prominent than Mrs. Schnee.

Sending Weiss to Beacon is in my opinion, the best option for everyone. I agree that it might be Weiss' own idea, but I would not be surprised that it's Mr. Schnee's own scheme as well. The logic is like this: Beacon Academy is the most prestigious combat academy in Vale, and perhaps infamous even among all 4 Kingdoms. Considering that the Schnee family, strong as they were had fallen prey to the White Fang again and again, the best choice to strengthen and protect Weiss was to send her there. If the White Fang wants to hurt Weiss, they'll have to go through Beacon first, and their reputation alone could dissuade White Fang from attempting anything rash or stupid against her.

I also believe Ozpin is more famous and powerful than people thought, too. If there's one place I would send my children to, to keep them safe, and I know my own strength isn't good enough to protect her, then I would send them to Beacon. I'd akin attacking Beacon as a literal declaration of war against humans, and the White Fang most likely do not want that, as of now.
