"Do you think it reasonable to teach theistic evolution in the schoolroom as a hypothesis for origin of first DNA/life?"

Theistic evolution is not a provable hypothesis. It's a belief. It can certainly be an element of philosophy courses, it also deserves a mention in the context of a science course, on the occasion of discussing the very origins of life. But I wouldn't require the students to accept it as a proven fact.

I do not disagree with any of that. Of course, the ID proponents could claim the same thing.
