People will find out the Grimm aren't invincible. Morale will boost. Other SEWs will come out of hiding and step forward, join the cause to put an end to this nightmare they've literally been born into.

4) It seems odd that Nikos wasn't informed of Salem when they were asking her to taken Amber Aura. But anyway, even if Jaune thought only Cinder ran the show. He was aware of Emerald and Mercury's deeds by the time Ruby woke up at her house. From the last episode of Season 3 to now he knew that if nothing else he'd have to fight Cinder, Merc and Em. If I were him I'd factor in the possibility that Haven wouldn't believe them and RNJR would have to drop the trio alone. But if Jaune really planned to train in Haven, I'll give him respect for that. BUT that should have been stated. 3. Except we don't know if SEWs kill off Grimm for good, since, like I said, more Grimm spawn. The only real way to work toward a future without Grimm is to find out how they spawn and find a way to make it stop. Once they make the Grimm stop spawning, then they can work on eradicating the Grimm that are still around.

We don't know how many other SEWs know about the special power behind their eyes.

Ruby is probably too focused on the Here & Now problem and wanting to solve that to stop and think about the big picture. She just lost two of her friends to an attack orchestrated by Cinder, and her sister was badly injured during said attack.

4. Qrow told Pyrrha that they'd tell her more once they were certain that she was with them. Considering that Qrow and Ironwood had mentioned a war that's not between kingdoms, I assume they were talking about a war of mankind vs Salem and planned to tell Pyrrha about that once she agreed to help. That time never came, since she agreed to help at the last minute in the middle of a massive attack and then died shortly after.

It's not like Jaune would have to take on Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald on his own, and they probably figured that

A.) Haven's headmaster might be similar to Ozpin, wanting only for the students training at his school to protect the people and kill Grimm, not for them to go out and cause the deaths of innocents in a citywide attack.

B.) Maybe Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald weren't actually students of Haven, just pretending to be after faking papers and whatnot. I mean, hey, if anyone knows about faking papers, it's Jaune. Team RWBY had been told that Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald had left Vale to go back to Mistral after Mercury was "injured", but none of them actually left. So, who told them that? Probably not an official, since officials would've noticed Mercury's team didn't leave and start wondering what happened to them, right? Ruby said "I heard", so maybe it was a rumor Cinder spread.
