I'm trying to understand this sentence, particularly how と works here.

> 朝から、算数、国語、社会、理科と退屈な授業が続く。

What is と doing here after this list?
> 「朝{あさ}から、算数{さんすう}、国語{こくご}、社会{しゃかい}、理科{りか} **と** 退屈{たいくつ}な授業{じゅぎょう}が続{つづ}く。」

「と」 here means the same thing as 「といった」, 「など」, 「のような」, etc. Strictly speaking,
「という」 is not included here.

It is used to list **_multiple_** examples (in this case, the four
classes/subjects) of what one is speaking about (here, 「退屈な授業」= "boring
classes/subjects").

"Multiple" is _the_ key word. This 「と」 **_could not_** be used if only one
example were being given. You must use 「という」 in that case.
