get/have

Hello,

I got my daughter educated in best schools.
I had my daughter educated in best schools.

I would like to ask if there is any difference between using 'get' and 'have' in these sententes.

Thanks.

There is no difference in meaning.

In that example, I think you would hear "had" more often in AmE and regardless of correctness, it would seem more proper.

'Got' is a greatly overused word. I advise you to take every possible opportunity to use an alternative.

I agree with Bill — 'had' is more elegant in this sentence.

I agree. I would use "had".
