What are they supposed to mean?

Anonymous · Answer

In the US you might hear a parent, very casually and informally, say:

My kid's doing (i.e.: going to) kindergarten now.

My kid's doing college now.

The others are not heard in the US, and the word "playgroup" is unknown in the US.

Mean to become/engage in activities as a student (receiving report card, doing homework, class assignments, etc).

Huh? I'd say "playgroup" is a pretty common term in the U.S. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about playgroups in the U.S.:

Playgroups in the United States

In the United States, a playgroup is an organization of parents with the expressed intent to have the children come together and play. There are playgroups that cater to specific categories of parents, particularly including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_at_home_dad, stay at home moms, and working moms. In areas of the US where http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling is popular, it is not unusual to see groups especially for homeschooling families. These can be part of local or even national playgroups. Churches, rec centers, and other community organizations sometimes sponsor weekly or monthly playgroups. Age limits are determined by the individual group. Some groups have upper age limits and some do not. It is not unusual to see groups where, in addition to activities for the children, there are social events for the whole family or for parents only. In highly mobile communities, playgroups can be an important tool for building the social network of young families who have recently relocated to the area. There are a number of resources online for parents to find playgroups in their area - including Playgroups USA and Social Toddler - both directories and social networks for parents in playgroups.
