Unless a school specifies type of teacher, I’d think it was ok. People may say that you should have letters from “core” (math, science, English, history) teachers but I think it best to get letters from those teachers who know you well and whose class you took recently. Even better is if they know you in more than one way (as a teacher and coach, for example). I also don’t think it has to be a teacher whose class you found easy. A good story about overcoming difficulties and prevailing with a decent but not necessarily perfect grade can show your grit.
